Answer:
1 1/4 or 1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert to a mixed number:
5/4
Divide 5 by 4:
4 | 5
4 goes into 5 one time. Multiply and subtract:
| 1 |
4 | 5 |
- | 4 |
| 1 |
The quotient is 1 (the number on top of the bracket) and the remainder is 1 (the number at the bottom of the grid):
| 1 | (quotient)
4 | 5 |
- | 4 |
| 1 | (remainder) invisible comma
5 = 1×4 + 1
The quotient of 5/4 is 1 with remainder 1, so:
Answer: 1 1/4
