Yeah that would be correct.
Well, you know that 20 / 4 = 5, right? So this is what you expect the answer to be. So let's check yours:
20 / r = 5
==> multiply the r to the right side
20 = 5r
==> divide by 5 on both sides
r = 4.

Let's call this unknown number x. The quotient of two numbers is the first number divided by the second.
Thus, the quotient of 20 and "some number" looks like:
20/x, which = 5
20/x = 5

The equation you have is correct. Now, multiply the whole equation by r and you get 20 = 5r so r = 4.

Let the number = x
20 / x = 5
20 = 5x
x = 4
Number is 4
