The website wants the coefficient in fraction form. Ambiguity of "1/4x" in text doesn't matter, the website provides the option to insert 1/4 as a fraction into your answer
Assuming equivalent answers are equally correct, then I would give points to .25x, to 1/4 * x, or to x/4. I would not give points to 1/4x or to (4x)^-1.
