First, let's make some sense of the question:

Gina bought one pound of cheese

Gina used 1/4 of it

She split apart the remaining cheese into 5 equal parts

Taking into account the three considerations described, then we solve the problem.

the remaining cheese is

(1 - 1/4) = 3/4

She split it:

(3/4) / (5) = 3/20

Let

x: number of days of the week

y: Amount of cheese used.

The equation will be

y = ( - 3/20) x + 3/4

answer

the expression that represents the cheese Gina will eat for lunch each day is

y = ( - 3/20) x + 3/4
