a recipe calls for 2 2/4 cups of raisins, but Julie only has a 1/4 cup measuring cup. How many 1/4 cups does Julie need to measure out 2 2/4 cups of raisins?

OK, So what I do first: How many times can this number go into 1?
1/4 goes evenly into 1 4 times.
Now how many wholes numbers are there? 2.
2*4=8
Now how many fourths are left over? 2.
Add them to 8.
10

10 is your answer.
