Well honey, if we're talking about fractions, there are 4 fourths in a whole. So, technically, 3 fourths is not a whole, but close enough if you're feeling generous. Just remember, math doesn't care about your feelings, it's all about those numbers.

Whole numbers and integers are slightly different. Whole number: 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Integer: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
There are four fourths in a whole. 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1
Restate the question: How many times does (3/4) go into 4 wholes? Answer: divide 4 by (3/4). To divide by a fraction, flip the fraction and multiply. Make the 4 into a fraction by putting a '1' underneath: (4/1)(4/3) = 4x4/1x3 = 16/3 = 5 1/3. You can take 3/4 away from 4, 5 1/13 times (If this isn't your question, try asking it another way.)
13/4 = 7/4 = seven quarters.
There are three thirds in one whole.
