There are five tons of coal in a pile, one fourth of which is transported in the first time, and one half of which is transported in the second time. How many tons of coal are transported in the two times?

The first transport 5 / 4 = 1.25 tons
The second transportation of 1.25 * 2 = 2.5 tons
1.25 + 2.5 = 3.75 tons transported twice
