Divide 3 inches in 5 equal parts
Make each part exactly 3.2 inches long.
You divide it into parts of 1.2by4
Select any one side and divide its length into 5 equal parts. Draw lines that are parallel to the adjacent side to the opposite side. This will divide the rectangle into 5 equal strips.
5.5 inches is 5 and 1/2 inches = 11/2 inches and you want to divide this into three equal parts. Divide 11/2 by 3 which is 11/6 = 1 and 5/6. So mark off a 1and 5/6 inches column from the leftedge of the page, then mark off another 1 and 5/6 inches column from the first one youmarked previouslyand you will end up with three equal columns
12.5 ÷ 5 = 2.5

Try 105/5 = 21
Select any one side. Divide its length into 5 equal parts. Do the same to the opposite side. Join the corresponding divisions. You will then have 5 equal rectangular divisions of the square.
By division and so 4/5 = 0.8 inches
5*20 cm = 1 meter
Divide the square into five strips.
