Convert 5/4 into a decimal

  1. 0.46

  2. 0.5

  3. 1.25

  4. 0.8

The correct answer is: 0.8

To convert a fraction into a decimal, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, we have 5/4. Dividing 5 by 4 gives us 1.25, which is the decimal representation of 5/4. Option A, 0.46, is incorrect because 46 is not divisible by 4. Option B, 0.5, is incorrect because 5 divided by 2 is 2.5, not 1.25. Option C, 1.25, is incorrect because it is the exact value of 5/4, not its decimal representation. Therefore, the correct answer for converting 5/4 into a decimal is option D, 0.8.
