So what I did was take 5 and 4 and then add them which would be 9, after that take 1/4 and make 9 one/forth. So it would look like 1/4+ 1/4+ 1/4+ 1/4+ 1/4 + 1/4+ 1/4+ 1/4+ 1/4= 2.25

Start the problem by first finding out how many 1/4 cups of water equal 1 full cup of water.
(1)/(4) + (1)/(4) + (1)/(4) + (1)/(4) = 1, therefore we can see that every 1 cup of water is equivalent to 4 1/4 cups of water. Now we will find the total number of cups of water Greg drank on monday and tuesday by adding 5 + 4 = 9. Multiply this number by 4 and you have the total number of 1/4 cups of water Greg drank on Monday and Tuesday combined.
