1. Convert the time Marty takes to get ready from a mixed number to an improper fraction:
   $$
   1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \text{ hours}.
   $$

2. Determine the amount of time he spends showering by calculating $$\frac{1}{5}$$ of $$\frac{5}{4}$$ hours:
   $$
   \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ hours}.
   $$

Thus, it takes Marty $$\frac{1}{4}$$ hour to shower.
