One of the questions is what is 1/4 of 80 I can't think of how to demonstrate that

Cut an apple into 8th's etc etc and make her put bits of it together until it's whole. Tell her what each fraction is when she puts a piece in place.

It's (relatively) straight forward to show what 1 quarter of 8 is. Have 8 of anything, and split them into 4 piles - each one being a quarter.
You then show her how to do the maths
1/4 of 8 == 1/4 * 8 == 8/4
You then explain that to get from 1/4 of 8, to 1/4 of 80 you do the math with 80 instead of 8
1/4 of 80 == 1/4 * 80 = 80/4 = 20
Or you do it the other way. 1/4 of 8 is 2 (as you've shown) and 80 is ten times 8, so 1/4 of 80 must be 10 times 2.

Since children like money use money to explain what fractions mean.
For example lay out a dollar bill and and four quarters
Explain that you are going to explain the fractions of the dollar bill. Explain that the first lesson is that to find 1/4 of the dollar you take one of the quarters and then two for 1/2 and three would be 3/4 Then push them all together and you have the whole again.Do the same process with all the coins to teach the various fractions. I will bet the lesson will only take one night and she will understand.

My 7 yr old has got fractions this week in her home work. The trick is for them to know their tables.
eg. 1/2 of 10 =
How many 2 in 10= 5
eg 1/4 of 12=
how many 4 in 12=3
1/5 of 20=
how many 5 in 20=4
to work out say
3/4 of 12=
work out 1/4 first then x it by3
eg 1/4 of 12= 3
3x3=9
eg
2/5 of 25=10
1/5of 25=5
5x2=10
Hope this helps.

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles are swollen veins around the anal opening or the anal canal. They can be painful and linger on for a long time causing distress. Fortunately, there are a number of home remedies that are as effective and provides fast relief https://tr.im/l83GG
The main symptoms include bleeding during the bowel movement and itching. The first thing that people do to cure hemorrhoids is get an OTC medication, without knowing their possible side effects.

an easy way that you will be able to remember and do in your head:
1/4 of 80 would be 80 divided by 4
3/4 of 80 would be 1/4 of 80, times three
1/x of y would be y/x
z/x would be y/x times z

Well, your child won't have been given these questions without being taught something of the subject - so I would suggest your first step is to ask your child what THEY understand from the questions. (This is a good way to ascertain how much they have absorbed).
Then I would suggest the practical approach - take 12 buttons and share them into three equal sets and work on from there.

you could use the apple as mentioned before or use her favorite candy and make a game out of it. Tell her she can only eat a certain fraction of the candy and have her figure out what that fraction is by putting the candy in so many even groups.
