The fraction of the sprinkles the chef will use on each cake is 1/20.
The equations that can be used to solve the problem are:
1/4 ÷ 5 = 1/20 (dividing the total amount of sprinkles by the number of cakes to find the amount for each cake)
or
5 × 1/20 = 1/4 (multiplying the amount for each cake by the number of cakes to check that it adds up to the total amount of sprinkles)
