Omar has 2 3/4 cups of dough to make dumplings. if he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling , how many whole dumplings can Omar make

Sagot :

Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.
