Well, there are 4 of 1/4 in each whole number. there is two whole numbers, so that makes 8 of 1/4's. Now we add the two in the fraction and we come out with 10. 1/4 can go into 2 2/4 10 times.
Well you have to divide them since they have the same denominator it will be easy do it's 1/4 ÷ 10/4 (2 2/4) = 10/4 which reduces to 5/2 which is 2 1/2. so now that you have divided you go back to the original question which was how many times came 1/4 go into 2 2/4 which is 10
