Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:
1. A fraction, f, multiplied by 5 equals 1/4.
To determine equation based on the given information, we note that we must multiply f by 5 and then equal them to 1/4. So the equation would be:
[tex]5f=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
To solve for f, we divide both sides by 5 first:
[tex]\frac{5f}{5}=\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}[/tex]
Next, we simplify:
[tex]f=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Therefore, the answers are:
Equation: 5f=1/4
Value of f: f=1/20
