Answer: There are 2 1/4 groups of 1/3 inch in 3/4 inch.

Explanation:

1. Find a common denominator. 3 and 4 are both multiples of 12, so 12 would be the common denominator.

2. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 12.

1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12

3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12

3. Divide using the keep, change, flip method.

9/12 * 12/4 = 108/48

108/48 = 2 1/4
