In order to change 5/4 to decimal form, we need to divide 5 by 4. We know that 5 is greater than 4, so we will end up with a decimal greater than 1.

We can divide 5/4 with a calculator or do it longhand. In this process, when we divide 5 by 4, we get 1.25.

So: 5/4 = 1.25.

Note that 5/4 and 1.25 represent the same quantity; they are just written in different formats.
