1/4 is contained 16 times in 4
1/4 is contained 2 times in 1/2
----------------------------
That means 1/4 is contained 18 times
in 4 1/2
----------------------------------
3/4 is 3 times bigger than 1/4, so it is
contained 1/3 as many times in 4 1/2
----------------------------------
So, 3/4 is contained 18/3 times in 4 1/2
