What is 5 times 1/4?

5 times 1/4 is the same as saying 5/1 times 1/4. Now, you just multiply the numerators together and denominators together. So, 5 times 1/4 equals 5/4

1/4= 0.25

0.25 x 5= 1.25

the number 5 is the same as 5/1 and so when 5/1 x 1/4 you times the numerators together and the denominators together to get 5/4 which is the same as 1 1/4 and 1.25

1/4 = 0.25

5 x 0.25 = 1.25

5*1/4

basically 5/1 * 1/4

so denominator 1 is cancelled by numerator 1

which gives a remainder of 5/4

the answer is 5/4
