Since $5$ is inert, $\mathfrak m=5\mathcal O_K$ is prime and
$$
N\mathfrak m=25,\qquad
|(\mathcal O_K/\mathfrak m)^\times|=24.
$$
The unit group is $\{\pm1\}$, and only $1$ is congruent to $1$ modulo $\mathfrak m$, so
$$
[\mathcal O_K^\times:U_{\mathfrak m,1}]=2.
$$
There are no real places and $h_K=1$. The <ray class number formula> gives
$$
|\operatorname{Cl}_{\mathfrak m}(K)|=\frac{24}{2}=12.
$$
Hence the <ray class field> modulo $5\mathcal O_K$ has degree $\boxed{12}$ over $K$.
