You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5\frac{1}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4} = 5.25 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 5\frac{1}{4} &= \frac{5 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{20 + 1}{4} \\ &= \frac{21}{4} \end{aligned} \]
