Question

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 oit 2 2/4 cups of raisins?

Answer 1

she needs altogether 2 2/4.
that is 2 wholes and 2/4 fraction.
if we consider using 1/4 cup, 1 whole is made of four quarter cups.
Therefore 2 wholes require eight quarter cups. then theres a remaining fraction of 2/4 which is equivalent to two quarter cups.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4. therefore altogether  8 + 2 = 10 of the 1/4 cups are required for the recipe.
10 of 1/4 cups are needed

Answer 2

Answer:

Julie needs to measure 5 cups of $\frac{1}{4}$  measuring cup to have $2\frac{2}{4}$ cups of raisins fro recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a recipe calls for $2\frac{2}{4}$ cups of raisins, but julie only has a $\frac{1}{4}$ cup measuring cup.

We have to find how many $\frac{1}{4}$ cups does julie need to measure  $2\frac{2}{4}$ cups of raisins.

Number of cups of raisins needed for recipe = $2\frac{2}{4}=\frac{10}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$ cups

Julie has measuring cup that measures $\frac{1}{4}$

Let x be the number of cups she needs to make  $\frac{5}{4}$ cups

then , $x\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{4}{1}$

$\Rightarrow x=5$

Thus, Julie needs to measure 5 cups of $\frac{1}{4}$  measuring cup to have $2\frac{2}{4}$ cups of raisins fro recipe.
