How many quarters would it take to total 8.75?

Answer 1

Method 1 (proper) 1 quarter is namely 1/4. So how many 1/4 are there in a 8.75. Sounds familiar?

Yes, we use division to see how many a is in b. b/a gives you the answer. In this case,

8.75 / 1/4 = 8.75 x 4 = 35.

Method 2 (No knowledge of division required, but need some translation from English to Math):

4 quarter would make 1, there is at least 8 x 1 here, so 8 x 4 = 32.

Then 0.75 = 3/4(3 quarter) = 3 x 1/4 which means there is 3 more quarters

32 + 3 = 35.

Answer 2

34

Answer 3
