What is 5 times 1/4?

5/4 (fraction form) which can also be written 1.25 as a decimal.

The answer is 5 × 1/4 = 5/4

Divide 1 by 4, and you get 0.25. Now, you multiply 5 by 0.25, and you get 1.25.

First you need to identify what 1/4 is. The way to start this is first diving 1 by 4 for what you get is 0.25. Then, you multiply 0.25 with 5 and the answer you then get is 1.25.

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

1/4 = 0.25

5 x 0.25 = 1.25

1/4 can be equally expressed as 0.25.

5x0.25 equals 1.25

The answer of 5 x 1/4 = 5/4

when multimpying fractions you multiply the numerator leeping denoinatr the same 5/4

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 multiplied 1/4 is equal to 5/4 which is 1.25

5 x ¼ can be also interpreted as 5 x 0.25 which is 1.25 or 1 ¼ or 5/4

1/4 in whole numbers is: 0.25

0.25 x 5

= 1.25

hey Maximillia,

You should always attempt to visualise it. 4 quarters make 1 whole and then you add another quarter giving you 1.25.

5 times 1/4 =1.25

1. Think of a round pizza
2. Cut pizza into 4 quarters (4/4)
3. We need 1 more quarter to equal 5 times.

4 quarters of the pizza is 1 (whole) + 1 quarter = 1 1/4

Half of 5 = 2.5

Half of 2.5 = 1.25

If you half something and then half it again, it is the same as a quarter (think of our pizza)

5 times 1/4 =1.25

5 divided by 1/4 =0.25

0.25 x 5 =1.25
