Given :

A fraction $\frac{5}{4}$

To Find :

Express $\frac{5}{4}$ in decimal form

Solution :

To express $\frac{5}{4}$ in decimal form, we have to divide 5 by 4

By dividing 5 with 4 we get a remainder 1, so we take a decimal in the quotient place and place a zero to the right of 1 in remainder. Now, the remainder becomes 10. As 4x2 = 8, so we're left with 2 in the remainder place. Then, again taking zero in the right side of remainder so we've 20 now in remainder. as 4x5 = 20 so the quotient becomes now, 1.25.

∴ $\frac{5}{4}$ in decimal form is 1.25.
