Am i correct? http://www.clipular.com/c?6525137=dPFo1dWidHmXiktXocNj9tPYDRI&f=.png

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

how many quarters are in 1 whole?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, how many would there be in 14 wholes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

56?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

right

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

53/4 = 13.25, using the 13 only from there, 13 * 4 = 52 so 52 wholes and 1/4 or \(\large 13\cfrac{1}{4} \)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

... ohh... wait a sec.. I misunderstood the q :/

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

thought it was a substraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:I

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

if there are 14 cups, and 3/4 of one is a unit, how many units are there in 14, well, is a fraction of \(\cfrac{14}{\frac{3}{4}} \implies \cfrac{14}{1} \times \cfrac{4}{3} = \cfrac{56}{3} \)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

to a mixed fraction that'd be \(\huge 18\cfrac{2}{3} \ or \ \cfrac{(18 \times 3) + 2}{3} \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i was right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehhe, yes, but I hope you did the fraction division :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea i did xD i was just checking
