Answer: 5 1/4 ÷ 1/4 = 21

Step-by-step explanation: Because the denominator is four, you would combine and create a mixed fraction. 5 × 4 = 20 and 20 + 1 = 21. So 5 1/4 equals 21 fourths which is why 5 1/4 ÷ 1/4 = 21

Answer 2

let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction first.

`\stackrel{mixed}{5(1)/(4)}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{21}{4}/ \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{21}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \cfrac{21}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{4}\implies \text{\LARGE 21}`
