Answer:

111 months

Explanation:

First, look at how many whole years old Emma is. Emma is 9 whole years old. 1 year consists of 12 months. So, multiply 9 [years] by 12 [months] to get 108. The number 108 is how many months are in 9 years. However, Emma is 9 months and 1/4 years old.

To find out how many months 1/4 of a year is, multiply 1/4 [year] by 12 [months] . 12 is the same as 12/1, so multiply the numerators and denominators of 1/4 and 12/1

1 x 12 = 12

4 x 1 = 4

12/4 = 3

Therefore, 1/4 year is 3 months. Now, add 108 months and 3 months to get 111 months. Therefore, Emma is 111 months old.

I hope this helps! :)
