Practice Dividing Fractions

1. Amos is painting his pots. He needs $\frac{1}{4}$ of a liter to paint all four pots.

   How much paint will he need for each of his $4$ pots if he uses the same amount of paint on each?

2. Mrs. Amy has ‍ $5$ bunches of grapes, which she is serving as a snack to a group of children. Each serving is $\frac{1}{4}$ of a bunch.

   How many children can get a serving of grapes as a snack?

3. Matt is filling containers of rice. Each container holds $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of a kilogram of rice.

   If Matt has $7$ kilograms of rice, how many containers can he fill?

4. Tommy will spend $\dfrac{1}{5}$ of his time this weekend studying for his 4 final exams.

   What fraction of the weekend will he spend studying for each of his $4$ exams if he spends the same amount of time studying for each exam?
