To find out how many glasses of liquid that hold \( \frac{1}{4} \) liter each are in 5 liters, you should divide the total volume of liquid (5 liters) by the volume of one glass (\( \frac{1}{4} \) liter).
This can be represented by the expression:
\[ 5 \div \frac{1}{4} \]
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so \( 5 \div \frac{1}{4} \) is equivalent to \( 5 \times 4 \).
Thus, the correct option among the given choices is:
**B: \( 5 \div \frac{1}{4} \)**.
