Answer:

None of these is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When you divide a number by a fraction, you can think of it as multiplying the number by the reciprocal of the fraction.

So, to divide 5 by 1/5, you can multiply 5 by the reciprocal of 1/5, which is 5/1.

Thus,

5 ÷ 1/5 = 5 x 5/1 = 25

Therefore, the quotient of 5 divided by 1/5 is 25.
