Answer:

One. See why ↓

5/4 is an improper fraction. We want a mixed number where the numerator is greater than the denominator for this to be right, so convert 5/4 to 1 1/4.

Typically speaking, there is only 1 of 3/4 in 5/4.

  • If this was 6/4, 3/4 would appear twice.
  • In this case,3/4 only appears once because it is comparing to an uneven number that is not a factor of 3. ↓

Therefore,

There is 1 of 3/4 in the number, 5/4.
