Rosa has 3 3/4 pounds of dough. She uses 1/8 of a pound for one roll. How many rolls could be made from Rosa's dough?

There are 16 ounces in a pound so if each roll means she uses 1/8 of a pound and she has 3 and 3/4 pounds she should be able to make 30 rolls, I hope it helped:)

So you want to know how much rolls can Rosa make with the dough, here's the answer:

First we notice that each roll takes 1/8 of dough, and then we make
3 (3)/(4) into
(30)/(8).

Then we find, that we can make 30 rolls with the dough Rosa has!

Hope this helped! c:
