Picture a whole number as a dollar, if you want to divide a dollar by a quarter, basically how many quarters go into a dollar, so the answer is 4.
1 / 1/4 = 4
How many dimes go into a dollar is 1 / 1/10 = 10, ten dimes go into a dollar.
What is 5 dollars divided by 1/4
so the equation is 5/1 divided by 1/4, change the 1/4 to 4/1 and multiply the factors
5/1 x 4/1 = 20/1 = 20 20 quarters go into 5 dollars
