Question: 1/5 of 1/4 is what fraction?
Answer: Answer2: 1/4 is the same as 5/20 (multiply top and bottom by 5) 1/5 is the same as 4/20 (multiply top and bottom by 4) Now the denominators (bottom number of a fraction) are the same so the size of the numerator (top number of a fraction) determines the size of the fraction.
