Best Answer

1 in 5 means that in every 5 of an event, one is likely to do something (whatever the question refers to).

For example: If a question was, if 1 in 5 people at a bar walk out sobre, how many people are sobre if 100 people walk into the bar. Well, 1 in 5 is also 20%, so 20% of 100 = 20 people.

Does five fives equal to one whole?

"Five fives" is 5+5+5+5+5 (or 5*5). This equals 25. If by "whole" you mean "one," then no. If you meant to say "does five fifths equal to one whole," then the answer would be yes. this would be 1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5, which equals 5/5, a.k.a. 1.
