What is 5 times 1/4?

When multiplying fractions, we must remember that quarters are not a number, they are a thing. So if we imagine instead of quarters we have pencils:

5 x 1 pencil = 5 pencils

It is the same with quarters (and all other fractions), we only multiply the number we have and the bottom number never changes e.g.

5 x 1 quarter = 5 quarters or 1 whole and 1 quarter

When multiplying by a fraction, you should divide by the denominator and times by the numerator. In this case that would be 5 divided by 4 times by 1 which is 1.25.

the answer to 5 x 1/4 =1.25 or 1 1/4

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

Imagine you have a slice of cake. In the whole cake there are 4 slices. This means each slice of cake represents ¼. You have 5 slices of cake meaning you have the whole 1 cake plus another slice of cake. This results in a total of one whole cake a ¼ slice. Therefore, 5 × ¼ = 1 and ¼ also written as 1¼

The answer is 1.25

5 * 1/4 = 5/4= 1.25

1/4 can be equally expressed as 0.25.

5x0.25 equals 1.25

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=5/1, 5*(1/4)=(5/1)*(1/4)=(5*1)/(1*4)=5/4=1.25

5x¼ = ⁵/4

= 1.25

1. 25 which is similar to 1and 1/4

the answer is 5/4, which is the same as 1.25

The answer is 5/4, think of 5 as 5/1. Times the 5 by the 1 and the 1 by the 4. This will provide the fraction 1/4.

The answer to 5 times 0.25 is 1.25
