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 out 2 2/4 cups of raisins?

You would do:

2 2/4 : 1/4

The way you do that is:

Step one: convert the 2 2/4 to an improper fraction:

Multiply 4 by the whole number 2 to get 8 and then

add the numerator (number on top of the fraction) 2 to get 10 / 4.

Now you have 10/4 : 1/4.

The way you divide fractions is you flip the second fraction upside down and change it to multiply:

10/4 x 4/1 = 40/4 = 10

So she would need 10 of her quarter cups for the recipe.
