<span>If Julie needs 3 ¼ cups of oatmeal </span>
How many ¼ cups will she uses,
Solution:
<span> The # of cups she will use
= 3 ¼ divide by ¼</span>
<span>
13/4/1/4 = 13/4*4/1</span>
<span> =13
cups</span>
45/100
Simplify the fraction by diving by the largest possible factor
45 divided by 5 = 9
100 divided by 5 = 20
9/20
9/20 = 0.45
I'm assuming each tickmark is 1/4 = 0.25
If that assumption is correct, then going one tickmark to the left of -3/4 lands you on -4/4 which simplifies to -1.
So -1 is one tickmark to the left of -3/4
Again, this all hinges on the assumption that each tickmark is 1/4 a unit away from its neighbor.
