The answer is 5 × 1/4 = 5/4
Divide 1 by 4, and you get 0.25. Now, you multiply 5 by 0.25, and you get 1.25.

You should always attempt to visualise it. 4 quarters make 1 whole and then you add another quarter giving you 1.25.
Hello, my name is Louise and I aim to make learning fun!
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
