Question

Aubrey is making dumplings. If she uses \tfrac{4}{5} 5 4 ​ cup of dough for each dumpling, how many cups of dough does Aubrey need to make 12 dumplings? Express your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Number of cups of dough needed = 15 cups

Explanation:

Cup of dough needed for each dumpling = 4/5 cup of dough

Total dumplings = 12

how many cups of dough does Aubrey need to make 12 dumplings?

Number of cups of dough needed = Total dumplings / Cup of dough needed for each dumpling

= 12 ÷ 4/5

= 12 × 5/4

= 60/4

= 15

Number of cups of dough needed = 15 cups
