Answer 2

Hey there!

The answer to your question is $\frac{1}{20}$

To solve this we must divide $\frac{1}{4}$ by $5$.

To do this, we can multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ by the reciprocal of $5$, or $\frac{1}{5}$.

$\frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{20}$

Therefore, Andy used $\frac{1}{20}$ of a can of paint on each wall of his house.

Hope it helps, have a great day, and stay safe! You've got this!
