5 divided by 1/4 = 5(4) = 20
division is the same as multiplication if you invert the divisor
a/b = a(1/b)
5/(1/4) = 5(4/1) = 5(4) =20
the answer is unitless, a pure number, as yards cancel each other
5 yards divided by 1/4 yard = 5 yd/(1/4 yd) the yard dimension is in both numerator and denominator, so they cancel out
