    First, let's make some sense of the question:

    Gina bought one pound of cheese

    Gina used 1/4 of it

    She split apart the remaining cheese into 5 equal parts

    Taking into account the three considerations described, then we solve the problem.

    the remaining cheese is

    (1 - 1/4) = 3/4

    She split it:

    (3/4) / (5) = 3/20

    Let

    x: number of days of the week

    y: Amount of cheese used.

    The equation will be

    y = ( - 3/20) x + 3/4

    answer

    the expression that represents the cheese Gina will eat for lunch each day is

    y = ( - 3/20) x + 3/4
