How do you fold a paper into 5 equal sections?

Answer 1

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?

Answer 2

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...

1. Take one corner of the paper and bring it over to line-up point-to-point with the corner opposite it diagonally.
2. Do not flatten the whole diagonal, only flatten a small crease on one of the edges, as a guide.
3. 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.
4. 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.
