To find the number of eighths in two and three quarters, we first convert the whole number 2 to eighths, which is 16/8. Then, we add the three quarters, which is 3/4, to get a total of 19/4. To simplify this, we multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator, giving us 19/4. Therefore, there are 19 eighths in two and three quarters.
