How many fourths in one and one eighth?

Answer 1

To determine how many fourths are in one and one eighth, first convert one and one eighth to an improper fraction. One and one eighth is equal to ( \frac{9}{8} ). Since one fourth is ( \frac{1}{4} ), you can find how many fourths are in ( \frac{9}{8} ) by dividing ( \frac{9}{8} ) by ( \frac{1}{4} ), which is the same as multiplying ( \frac{9}{8} ) by the reciprocal of ( \frac{1}{4} ) (which is 4). This calculation gives you ( \frac{9}{8} \times 4 = \frac{36}{8} = 4.5 ). Therefore, there are 4.5 fourths in one and one eighth.
