You need to multiple numerators together so 5x1= 5, Denominator would remain the same so equals 5/4 or 1 1/4

This means five lots of one quarter, which is five quarters. This can be written as 5/4 (a top heavy fraction) or 1 1/4 (a mixed fraction, meaning one whole - which is four quarters - plus the extra quarter. Drawing a diagram e.g. of a cake divided into quarters can help with this kind of question.

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

1/4 can be equally expressed as 0.25.
5x0.25 equals 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

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

firstly, convert the 5 into a fraction and place it over 1(so now it will be 5/1). Then, times the numerators by each other (5x1) (4x1). The answer is 5/4.

To multiply fractions you need to do the number times the numerator.
In this question it will be 5 x 1 = 5. Then denominator will stay the same so the answer is 5/4

So you would need to times 5( which is the same as 5/1) with the fraction 1/4, to multiply fractions, you need to multiply both numerators and denominators. So that would be, (5*1)/(1*4) which is 5/4 or in mixed fractions, a whole and a quarter.

Hi, the answer is 1.25.
Begin by making 5 into a fraction:
5/1
Then multiply the two fractions:
5/1 x 1/4
Start by multiplying the numerators (top numbers):
5x1= 5
And the denominators (bottom numbers):
1x4= 4
You are left with the fractions 5/4 which can then be simplified to 1 1/4, or 1.25.
Hope this helped!

5 times a quarter is the same as 5 lots of one quarter, so would equal 5/4 (5 quarters). As a mixed number, that would be equivalent to one whole (as 4 quarters = 1 whole) and one quarter (5 1/4).

5/1 x 1/4
When multiplying fractions, multiply the two top numbers (numerators) together and the two bottom numbers (denominators) together.
5 x 1 = 5, 1 x 4 = 4
5 x 1/4 = 5/4
4 goes into 5 once with a remainder of 1
Answer = 1 1/4
