Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:

1. A fraction, f, multiplied by 5 equals 1/4.

To determine equation based on the given information, we note that we must multiply f by 5 and then equal them to 1/4. So the equation would be:


5f=(1)/(4)

To solve for f, we divide both sides by 5 first:


(5f)/(5)=(1)/((4)/(5))

Next, we simplify:


f=(1)/(20)

Therefore, the answers are:

Equation: 5f=1/4

Value of f: f=1/20
