Hi,

About 1/4 of the world's motor vehicles is built in Canada or the United States.

in other words:

About 5 out of 20 of the world's motor vehicles is built in Canada or the United States.

About 1/5 of the world's motor vehicles are built in the United States.

in other words:

About 4 out of 20 of the world's motor vehicles are built in the United States.

What fraction of the world's motor are built in Canada?

Is it clear now?
