Hrm, I don't know why my answer via google didn't show up. Maybe a 
mistake on my part. So here again:
That would be a mathematically sound: 5.
If you need an example to see that this even makes sense, consider: You 
have $5 in $1 pieces. How many $1 pieces do you have? Answer: $5/$1 = 5.

With $1*$5 it's a bit different as powers other than 0 and 1 of $ as I 
can't find anything where that'd make sense :)

Regards
Stefan
