Question

How many one-fourths need to be added to $2\frac{1}{4}$ to make 4?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 7

Answer 1

The correct option is D 7

We can solve the problem as follows:

Let, $x$ number of one-fourths need to be added to $2\frac{1}{4}$ to get $4$:

So, $\frac{x}{4}+2\frac{1}{4}=4$

$\frac{x}{4}=4-2\frac{1}{4}$

$=4-\frac{9}{4}$

$=\frac{7}{4}$

$=7\times \frac{1}{4}$

$x=7$

Hence, 7 one-fourths need to be added to $2\frac{1}{4}$ to make $4$.
