Answer 2

Answer: 30 rolls can be made from Rosa's dough.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Rosa has
`3(3)/(4)~\textup{pounds}` of dough and she uses
`(1)/(8)~\textup{pounds}` for one roll.

We are to find the number of rolls that can be made from Rosa's dough.

Given that Rosa uses
`(1)/(8)~\textup{pounds}` for one roll. So, the total number of rolls that can be made by
`3(3)/(4)~\textup{pounds}` of dough will be

`(3(3)/(4))/((1)/(8))=((15)/(4))/((1)/(8))=(15)/(4)* 8=30.`

Thus, 30 rolls can be made from Rosa's dough.
