Payten Cox · Answer 1

The right expression is Option A - 3/4 divided by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole cheese is 1.

Since she ate 1/4 of it, thus, she has,

1 - 1/4 = 3/4 left.

Now she split this remaining cheese into 5 places. Thus, it is expressed as;

(3/4) : 5

This corresponds with option A
