4

To multiply a fraction and a whole number, turn the whole number into a fraction with a denominator of 1.

$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{20}{1}$ $1/5 xx 20/1$

Multiply the top numbers (numerators) and the bottom numbers (denominators)

$\frac{1 \times 20}{5 \times 1} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$ $(1xx20)/(5xx1) = 20/5 = 4$

$20 \div 5 = 4$ $20 div 5 = 4$

To find $\frac{1}{5}$ $1/5$ (said as 'one fifth') is the same as dividing by $5$ $5$

So $20$ $20$ divided by $5$ $5$ is $4$ $4$

In the same way, $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ of $20$ $20$ is the same as $20$ $20$ divided by $2$ $2$

$\frac{1}{4}$ $1/4$ of $20$ $20$ is $20$ $20$ divided by $4 \to 20 \div 4 = 5$ $4" "rarr 20 div4=5$
