Answer: Let's set up 1/5 and 1/4 side by side so they are easier to see:


(1)/(5) x(1)/(4)

The next step is to multiply the numerators on the top line and the denominators on the bottom line:

1 x 1

5 x 4

From there, we can perform the multiplication to get the resulting fraction:

1 x 1

5 x 4 =
(1)/(20)

The complete answer is below (simplified to the lowest form):

1/20

Convert 1/5 times 1/4 to Decimal

Here's a little bonus calculation for you to easily work out the decimal format of the fraction we calculated. All you need to do is divide the numerator by the denominator and you can convert any fraction to decimal:


(1)/(20) = 0.05
