Answer: Omar can make 14 whole dumplings.
Step-by-step explanation: Make 2 3/4 an improper fraction. To do this, multiply 2 by the denominator, 4. From this, you get 8. Then add 8 to the numerator, which is 3, and you get 11. Keep the denominator and you'll have 11/4.
To divide fractions, you make 3/16 its reciprocal by basically flipping the fraction so that the numerator becomes the denominator and vise versa, making it 16/3. Then multiply 11/4 and 16/3. 11 x 16 is 176; 4 x 3 is 12. The result is 176/12. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4. Your resulting answer should be 44/3. Simplify even further by simple division. Your final answer should be 14 2/3. Discard the 2/3 because Omar needs to make whole dumplings. So the answer is 14.
