The easiest way to figure out this problem is if you convert 1/5 to a decimal. All you have to do is 1 divided by 5. The decimal answer to this is 0.2.
So, using the information we have now, it is clear to see that 0.25 is greater than 0.2, which means that 0.25 is greater than 1/5.
Final answer: 0.25 is greater than 1/5.
