Question

Your office is participating in a charity event for a local food bank. You will be making cinnamon rolls

in bulk and know that you must roll out 4.75 inches of dough to make 3 cinnamon rolls. To produce 288 cinnamon rolls, you will need to roll out how many feet of dough?

Answer 1

To make 288 cinnamon rolls, where 4.75 inches of dough makes 3 rolls, you will need 38 feet of dough after calculating the dough per roll and converting the total inches to feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much dough is needed to make 288 cinnamon rolls, if 4.75 inches of dough makes 3 cinnamon rolls, first find out how many inches of dough is needed per cinnamon roll. Then calculate the total for 288 rolls and convert it into feet.

1. Find the amount of dough per roll: 4.75 inches ÷ 3 rolls = 1.5833 inches per roll.
2. Calculate dough needed for 288 rolls: 1.5833 inches × 288 rolls = 456 inches.
3. Convert inches to feet: Since 1 foot = 12 inches, divide 456 by 12 to find the total in feet. 456 inches ÷ 12 = 38 feet.

Therefore, you will need 38 feet of dough to make 288 cinnamon rolls for the charity event.

Answer 2

Answer: 37.9999968 feet of dough, or just 38 (rounded off to whole number)

4.75 inches equals to 0.3958333 feet.

0.3958333 is the feet of dough for 3 rolls so for 1 roll it’ll be 0.3958333 divided by 3 which is equal to 0.131944433333333 feet.

0.131944433333333 is the feet for 1 roll so for 288 rolls it’ll be 0.131944433333333 multiplied by 288 which is 37.9999968 feet.
