To solve the inequality \( \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} > 5 \frac{1}{4} \), we first convert \( 5 \frac{1}{4} \) into an improper fraction:

\[ 5 \frac{1}{4} = 5 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{20}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4} \]

Now, the inequality becomes:

\[ \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} > \frac{21}{4} \]

Next, we add \( \frac{3}{4} \) to both sides of the inequality:

\[ \frac{1}{4}x > \frac{21}{4} + \frac{3}{4} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \frac{1}{4}x > \frac{24}{4} \]

Which simplifies further:

\[ \frac{1}{4}x > 6 \]

Now, we multiply both sides by \( 4 \) to isolate \( x \):

\[ x > 6 \times 4 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ x > 24 \]

The solution to the inequality is:

\[ \boxed{x > 24} \]
