Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by drawing five rectangles. Divide each of the five into four parts. You should have 20 sections.  1 1/4 is equal to 5/4, or five 1/4 pieces. Shade or erase five of the 20 sections. There should be 15 left. 15/4 is 3.75, or 3 3/4, which is less than four.

Hope this helps!
