The expression 1÷1/4 is given. Give a real-life application to explain this expression and then simplify it.

Real-life application:

Imagine you have a recipe that calls for 1 cup of flour and you want to divide that into 4 equal parts to make smaller batches of the recipe.

Simplify:

1 ÷ 1/4 can be simplified as 1 * 4/1 which equals 4.

So, when you divide 1 cup of flour into 4 equal parts, each part would be 1/4 cup.
