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?

Sagot :

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:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

Number of cups of raisins needed for recipe = [tex]2\frac{2}{4}=\frac{10}{4}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex] cups

Julie has measuring cup that measures [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Let x be the number of cups she needs to make  [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] cups

then , [tex]x\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{4}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=5[/tex]

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