What fraction of 1 pound is 5 pence?

That would be 1/20 - 5 goes into 100, 20 times. Before 1971, the pound is divided into twenty shilling and then a shilling is further subdivided into twelve pence. So, five pence is one shilling before 1971. Now, the pound is much simpler with 100 pence since 1971.
