Question

Mel needs to measure 4 3/4 cups of flour. The only measuring cup he has measures 1/4 cup. How many 1/4 cups of flour should he use

Answer 1

first 4x4 since she needs 4 whole cups, and there are 4 1/4 in a 4. That would equal to 16, but she also needs 3/4 to the 4, so it will be 19 1/4 cups to get 4 3/4
