Question

If Julia needs 3 1/4 cups of oatmeal, how many 1/4 cups of oatmeal will she use

Answer 1

Julia needs 3
`(1)/(4)` cups of oatmeal, and she can only get it in
`(1)/(4)` cup quantities at a time. We know that
`(4)/(4)` makes 1 whole, so we need to multiply the amount of whole cups she has by 4.

3 * 4 = 12

Finally, we see that there is
`(1)/(4)` cup of extra oatmeal that Julia wants, so we add one more to our sum.

It will take 13 sets of
`(1)/(4)` cups of oatmeal to make 3
`(1)/(4)` cups of oatmeal.
Hope that helped =)
