Question

Isaiah has 2 3/5​ cups of dough to make dumplings. If he uses 1/5 cup of dough for each dumpling, how many dumplings can Isaiah make?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can convert 2 3/5 into 13/5 because 5/5 = 1 and 10/5 = 2.

Now that you have 13/5, you will see it’s much easier to divide! There are thirteen fifths cups of dough and he needs one fifths cups of dough for each dumpling. This means he can make 13!
