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 is also known is 5/1. When you multiply two fractions, you multiply the two numerators to give your new numerator and then multiply the two denominators to give your final denominator. So 5/1 x 1/4 = 5/4

1/4 can be equally expressed as 0.25.

5x0.25 equals 1.25
