Question: 1/3 is how many fourths?
Answer: If you agree that there are 3 thirds in 1 and that there are 6 thirds in 2, then it would seem reasonable that the answer can be found by multiplying the number three-fourths (or 3/4 written as a fraction) by 3. 3 times 3/4 is 9/4 or two-and-a-quarter. Restated, there are 2.25 thirds in three-fourths.
