To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal. In this case, the reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{5} \) is \( 5 \). So,
\[
1 \div \frac{1}{5} = 1 \times 5 = 5.
\]
Therefore, \( 1 \div \frac{1}{5} = 5 \).
\[
1 \div \frac{1}{5} = 1 \times 5 = 5.
\]
Therefore, \( 1 \div \frac{1}{5} = 5 \).

Sure! Let's break it down step by step.
When you want to divide by a fraction, instead of dividing, you can multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction.
1. The problem is: \( 1 \div \frac{1}{5} \).
2. The fraction \( \frac{1}{5} \) means "one divided by five."
3. The reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{5} \) is \( 5 \) (because you flip the fraction).
Now, you can rewrite the problem as:
\[
1 \div \frac{1}{5} = 1 \times 5.
\]
4. When you multiply \( 1 \times 5 \), you get \( 5 \).
So the final answer is:
\[
1 \div \frac{1}{5} = 5.
\]
