to divide by 1/4, multiply by the reciprocal (4/1)

4/4 divided by 1/4 = 4/4 * 4/1 = 16/4 = 4

3/4 divided by 1/4 = 3/4 * 4/1 = 12/4 = 3

3*4/4 divided by 1/4 = 3*4/4 * 4/1 = 3*16/4 = 12

etc

Edit: using basic mental arithmetic - I got the answer 19 ! The question is asking how many times does 1/4 go into 4 3/4 - since 4 x 1/4 = 1, 4 x 4 = 16... add the 3/4 = 19/4 !
