To convert the fraction \( \frac{5}{4} \) to a percentage, we can follow these steps:
1. Divide the numerator by the denominator: \( 5 \div 4 = 1.25 \).
2. To convert to a percentage, multiply by 100: \( 1.25 \times 100 = 125\% \).
Therefore, \( \frac{5}{4} \) is equivalent to \( 125\% \).
So the answer is \( \boxed{125\%} \).
