Oh, dude, folding a paper into five equal sections? That's like trying to fold a fitted sheet perfectly - good luck with that! But hey, if you really wanna give it a shot, just fold it in half, then in half again, and then just kinda eyeball the last section because who really needs precision in life, right?
For a standard 8-1/2" x 11" piece of paper, you can get a nearly perfect 5 equal sections by following this simple procedure...
- Take one corner of the paper and bring it over to line-up point-to-point with the corner opposite it diagonally.
- Do not flatten the whole diagonal, only flatten a small crease on one of the edges, as a guide.
- Unfold your diagonal and then make a horizontal fold where this guide crease was made. This creates a 1/5 section at the top (or bottom) of your paper.
- Lastly, you can easily fold the remaining portiion of the paper into 4 equal parts by folding the edge of the larger section up to the newly created horizontal crease, then folding again.
This is probably easier to see visually. Perhaps someone else can add a picture later.

How can 12 students share 5 pieces of construction paper equally?
Yes. Cutting each paper into 3 equal size pieces gives 15 pieces of paper. Each student gets one piece and there are 3 left over. Cutting the 3 leftover pieces each into 4 equal size pieces gives 12 pieces of paper, one for each student. (1/3 + 1/12) x 12 = 5

How can I create origami 5 pointed stars?
To create origami 5 pointed stars, start with a square piece of paper. Fold the paper in half diagonally to form a triangle. Then, fold the triangle in half again to create a smaller triangle. Next, fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the bottom edge. Repeat on the other side. Finally, fold the top corners of the shape down to create the points of the star. Flatten the shape and your origami 5 pointed star is complete.
How do you fold a piece of paper into tenths?
cut it Now this is a stupid answer. For a square: Fold the paper in half twice A____D |..:..| |_:_| B C Then, fold the bottom right corner up along the line formed by the midpoint of line CD and corner B. Corner C now lies on the a line dividing the paper into 2/5( the right of the square) and 3/5 (the left of the square). Now simply fold along that line, and you have that proportion. The rest is straightforward. Simply divide the 2/5 in four and use that size to divide the rest into tenths. forgive the other guy for iving you such a stupid answer.
