A recipe call for 2 2/4 cup of raisins,but Julie only has a1/4-cup measuring cup. How many 1/4 cup does Julie need to measure out of 2 2/4 cup of raisins
why would your text write 2 2/4 instead of 2 1/2 ?
divide 2 1/2 by 1/4
get rid of those useless mixed fractions ....
5/2 ÷ 1/4
= (5/2)(4/1) = ...
or in decimals:
2.5 ÷ (.25) = ...
2 2/4 = 2 1/2 = 2.5
1/4 =0.25
2.5 / 0.25 = 10
Hi this is crazyyy
I’m watching you~ Look in you CLOSET. 😈🤡💀
To determine how many 1/4 cups Julie needs to measure out 2 2/4 cups of raisins, we can follow these steps:
1. Start by converting the mixed number 2 2/4 to an improper fraction. Since there are 4 quarters in a whole, we can rewrite the whole number 2 as 2/1 and add it to the fraction, giving us 2 2/4 = (2 * 4 + 2) / 4 = 10/4.
2. Now, we have the fraction 10/4 representing the 2 2/4 cups of raisins.
3. To find how many 1/4 cups are in 10/4 cups, we can divide the numerator (10) by the denominator (4): 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5.
4. Since Julie only has a 1/4-cup measuring cup, she will need to measure out the raisins 2.5 times.
Note that she needs 0.5 more than 2 whole cups of raisins, so she won't be able to measure the exact amount using only a 1/4-cup measuring cup. She can either round up to 3 cups or use another measuring device if precision is important.
