Answer:

it's not possible to get five-quarters (5/4) pieces of apple from only two apples, as it goes beyond the total amount of apple available.

If you have two whole apples, the maximum number of quarters you can get is 2 x 4 = 8 quarters. This is because each apple can be divided into four equal quarters.

Five-quarters (5/4) of an apple would mean 1 whole apple and an additional one-fourth (1/4) of an apple. So, you would need more than two apples to have five-quarters of an apple. Specifically, you would need at least five apples to get five-quarters worth of apple pieces.
