Question

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

Answer 1

Three.

`(3/4)/(1/4)`
They've got the same denominator, so you can act like the nominators are whole numbers and simply divide those. Or...

`(3)/(4)` ×
`(1)/(4)`
Cross multiply, so 1 times 4 and 4 times 3.

`(12)/(4)`
And then divide to get 3.
