What is 5 times 1/4?

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.

It will be 5/4 or 1.25 as a decimal.

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

First step: 5*1 to make it 5/4

Second step: Simplify if needed => 1 1/4

= (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

The answer is 1.25

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.

5 multiplied 1/4 is equal to 5/4 which is 1.25

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
