A recipe calls for 2 2/4 cups but Julie only has 1/4 cup. How many 1/4 cups does Julie need to measure out 2 2/4 cups

In a certain recipe, it needs 2 2/4 cups, But Julie only has ¼ cup.

Now, find the number of cups will Julie need to measure using her ¼ cup to be able to measure out 2 and 2/4 cups.

=> in every 1 cup there are 4 of ¼ cups

=> ¼ + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ = 4/4 or = 1

Thus,

=> ¼ + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ = 4/4 + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ = 8/4 or 2

Then

=> 8/4 + ¼ + ¼ = 10/4 or equals to 2 and 2/4

Therefore, Julie need 10 of ¼ cups to be able to measure out 2 2/4 cups needed in the recipe.
