Question

A recipe calls for 2 2/4 cups of raisins, but julie only has a 1/4 measuring cup. How many 1/4 cups is needed to measure out 2 2/4 cups of raisins?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

it takes 4 quarters (1/4) to make a whole so 1 cup = 1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4

so 2 cups = 8 qurters (1/4) and the 2/4 is 1/4+1/4 so the answer is 10 quarters (1/4)
