rational numbers are numbers that can be written in the form p/q, where p & q are integers.
5*4 + 1 = 21,
therefore 5 1/4 = 21/4
21/4 is written in the form of a rational number since 21 & 4 are both integers. Hope that helps!

a rational number is a number which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
so express 5 1/4 as a fraction instead of a mixed number
......
21/4

5 1/4
Another way of saying it would be, since 5 1/4 is a rational number there is no way to write it that would make it an irrational number.

Think of it as 5+(1/4). So you divide 1by 4 to get .25 and add it to get the answer 5.25
