Question

May has 5 cups of dough. It takes 1/3 cup of dough to make one dinner roll. How many dinner rolls can she make with the dough she has?

Answer 1

I think it is 15 rolls

Answer 2

15 Rolls.

Explanation:

This problem is one that can be solved simply by dividing.

Take 5, and divide that by 1/3.

However, you can't just do this. The way I did it was by turning 5 into 5/1. Then, Multiply by the reciprocal, which would be 5 x 3, which equals 15.
