Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Convert 10014 100\frac{1}{4} to an improper fraction.
  • Step 2: Calculate the product 14×5\frac{1}{4} \times 5.
  • Step 3: Perform the division of the improper fraction by the product from step 2.
  • Step 4: Convert the result to a mixed number if needed.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The mixed number 10014 100\frac{1}{4} converts to an improper fraction as follows:
10014=100×4+14=4014 100\frac{1}{4} = \frac{100 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{401}{4} .
Step 2: The product of the fraction and integer is 14×5=54 \frac{1}{4} \times 5 = \frac{5}{4} .
Step 3: We perform the division 4014:54 \frac{401}{4} : \frac{5}{4} . In fraction terms, this is:
4014×45=401×44×5=4015 \frac{401}{4} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{401 \times 4}{4 \times 5} = \frac{401}{5} .
Step 4: Convert 4015\frac{401}{5} to a mixed number:
Perform the division 401÷5 401 \div 5 ; quotient is 80 and remainder is 1.
Thus, 4015=8015\frac{401}{5} = 80\frac{1}{5} .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 8015 80\frac{1}{5} .

Answer

8015 80\frac{1}{5}
