Basically, you divide 3 1/4 by 1/4. To do that, you have to change the mixed number into an improper fraction. 3 1/4 as an improper fraction is 13/4. I was able to find that since you simply just multiply the denominator by the whole number, 4 x 3, which is 12, then add 12 to the numerator, 1, which is 13. Finally, the improper fraction is 13/4 (the denominator stays the same). Now, we can divide the fractions. One rule about fractions: dividing them is the same as multiplying them with the reciprocal of the other. Like say for example, the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1.
Let's solve:
13/4 divided by 1/4 =
13/4 x 4/1 = At this point, you just multiply them straight across.
52/4 = It's not simplified since both can still be divided. So, you simplify by finding the greatest common multiple of 52 and 4, which is 4. 52 divided by 4 = 13; 4 divided by 4 = 1.
52/4 = 13/1 = 13 (any numerator with the denominator of one is a whole number when simplified)
So if Julie needs 3 1/4 cups of oatmeal, she will use 13 of 1/4 cups of oatmeal. Answer's 13. :) I really hope I helped!

Answer: he saved $15
Step-by-step explanation:
The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush, but last week they were on sale at 2 for $8.50. This means that the amount that one would cost is
8.5/2 = $4.25
If Jim bought 20 rose bushes last week, it means that the amount that he paid for 20 rose bushes is
20 × 4.25 = $85
The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush. If he had bought at the regular price, the amount that he would have paid is
5 × 20 = $100
Therefore, the amount saved by the bushes on sale is
100 - 85 = $15
