#2 1/4" shifts "=394" calls"# to the nearest 1 call

#1" shift "=175" calls"#

Multiply both sides by #2 1/4 -> 9/4#

#9/4xx1" shift "=9/4xx175" calls"#

#2 1/4" shifts "=393 3/4#

Notice that the question uses the word 'approximately' this gives you a little leeway.

But #3/4# of a call is still a call so call it 394 calls in total

You must define the precision (to the nearest 1 call).
