Step-by-step explanation:
If Tommy is spending 1/5 of his time studying four exams then we have to equally split that 1/5 of time over the 4 subjects. To do this, we divide 1/5 by 4.
Now when it comes to fractions, to make it easier to visualize, we'll use 1/5 ÷ 4/1.
When we divide fractions, we flip the one we are dividing by (4/1) and multiply.
To multiply fractions we just multiply straight across.
So we have 1/5 x 1/4.
On the top, we have 1 x 1, that's 1.
On the bottom we have 5 x 4, that's 20.
So our final answer is 1/20!
