Question

Omer has 2 3/4 cups of dough to make dumplings. If he use 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling how many whole dumpling can Omar make

Answer 1

Answer: 14


one dumpling = 3/16 cup of dough

Number of dumplings that can be made from 2 3/4 cups of dough


`2 (3)/(4) / (3)/(16)`

Change to improper fraction

`(11)/(4) / (3)/(16)`

Change the division fraction to multiplication fraction

`(11)/(4) * (16)/(3)`

Combine into single fraction

`(176)/(12)`

Simplify

`(176 / 4)/(12 / 4)`


`(44)/(3) \ or \ 14(2)/(3)`

It is enough to make some 14 dumplings with some dough left over.
