What is 5 times 1/4?

Hi, the answer is 1.25.

Begin by making 5 into a fraction:

5/1

Then multiply the two fractions:

5/1 x 1/4

Start by multiplying the numerators (top numbers):

5x1= 5

And the denominators (bottom numbers):

1x4= 4

You are left with the fractions 5/4 which can then be simplified to 1 1/4, or 1.25.

Hope this helped!

1/4 * 5

1/4 = 0.25

0.25*5= 1.25

So the way you would work that out is by first of all recognising that any whole number is over 1 if written as a fraction, so 5 is actually the same as 5/1.

Then you would do 5/1 × 1/4, so you multiply the tops (numerators) so 5 × 1 = 5, and then multiply the bottoms (denominators) so 1 × 4 = 4, and then write them as a fraction so your answer would be 5/4.

first thing to do is make sure that all of the numbers are fractions so it would become 5/1*1/4

then you would use the kfc method (keep flip change)

which would give you 5/1 divided by 4/1

then you would work the denominator and numerator

5/4=1.25

1/1=1

goving you 1.25

You can make 5 a fraction! 5/1 x 1/4 is 5/4. Therefore it is 1 1/4

This would be 5/4 or 1.25!

5 x 1/4= 5/4= 1.25

1.25

5 x 1/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4

To perform the calculation of 5 times 1/4 you just follow the common rule for the multiplication of fractions. This rule states to multiply the numerator but not multiply the denominator. Therefore for this calculation you mould multiply 5 by the numerator which is 1. 5 x 1 = 5. This becomes the new numerator. The denominator remains the same therefore the answer to this calculation is 5/4.

It is 1.25 or 1 1/4

Hi Maximillia,

Think of the 5 as a fraction, so 5/1.

Now you can easily times 5/1 x 1/4 by multiplying the top numbers together to get the new numerator (top number in the fraction) and multiplying the bottom numbers together to get the new denominator.

So 5x1=5 for the numerator. And 1x4=4 for the denominator.

So your final answer is 5/4. This is an improper fraction but can also be written as a mixed number 1 1/4.

An even easier method is to think of the 1/4 as one quarter of a pizza. So if you have 5 quarters of a pizza, you have 1 full pizza and one quarter so 1 and 1/4. Or '5 quarters' as you can seen in the diagram.

Hope this helps :)

5 x 1/4 =

5/1 x 1/4 =

5 x 1 = 5

1 x 4 = 4

therefore

= 5/4 or 1 1/4

5 x 1/4 = 1.25. This would be the answer in a decimal format. You can think about this question as 'what is 1/4 of 5' as the multiplication sign can be considered as replacing the word 'of' here. So, half of 5 is 2.5 and half of 2.5 is 1.25 (if you half something and then half it again, it is the same as taking a quarter - think about when you cut a cake)

There are two ways to think about this.

Keep adding a quarter 5 times

1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4

Multiply two fractions

5 as a fraction is 5/1 so...

5/1 x 1/4 = ?

Multiply the numerators (5 x 1 = 5)

Multiply the denominators (1 x 4 = 4)

So your numerator is 5 and your denominator is 4...

ANSWER is 5/4

5 times 1/4 is equal to 1.25
