Divide 1 by 4, and you get 0.25. Now, you multiply 5 by 0.25, and you get 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
5/4 which can be simplified to get 1 1/4
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 ΒΌ can be also interpreted as 5 x 0.25 which is 1.25 or 1 ΒΌ 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
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
