One real-life application of this expression could be dividing a pizza between 4 people. Each person would receive 1/4 (one-fourth) of the pizza.

To simplify the expression, we can invert the second fraction (the divisor) and multiply it by the first fraction (the dividend):

1 ÷ 1/4 = 1 x 4/1 = 4

Therefore, the result is 4, which means each person would receive one-fourth of the pizza if they are dividing a pizza equally between four people.
