in essence, how many times does 1/4 go into 6 and 1/2?
[tex]\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{13}{2}\div \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{13}{2}\cdot \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \cfrac{13}{1}\cdot \implies \cfrac{4}{2}\cdot 13\cdot 2\implies 26[/tex]
