In summary, we are discussing the value of 1/5 and its relation to x. 1/5 is equal to 0.2, or 20%, or 2/10. It can also be expressed as 1 ÷ 1/5, which equals 5. We are unsure of the context or purpose of finding 1/5, so we have decided to give up and let Lotte take over the discussion.

this made no sense to me. 1/5 is 0.2. 1/5 is 20%. 1/5 is 2/10. i don't really understand what it is we are looking for. The Bob...1 ÷ 1/5 = 5.

1/5 is just a value, self explanatory.
