Julia needs 3 \(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of oatmeal, and she can only get it in \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup quantities at a time. We know that \(\frac{4}{4}\) makes 1 whole, so we need to multiply the amount of whole cups she has by 4.
3 * 4 = 12
Finally, we see that there is \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup of extra oatmeal that Julia wants, so we add one more to our sum.
It will take 13 sets of \(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of oatmeal to make 3 \(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of oatmeal.
Hope that helped =)
