Rational Numbers won't be confused into getting to Integers, Whole Numbers, And Counting Numbers.

Like ALL Counting numbers go into whole numbers, ALL whole numbers go into integers, and ALL integers can go into Rational numbers.

If you go the other way around not ALL can go

Romashka [77]

This is an arith. sequence, and the common difference is -9.

a(n+1) = a(n)-9, with a(1)=8. Thus, if we look at the first term, we see 8; subracting 9 from 8 produces the second term (-1).

Omar has 3 1/14 cups of dough to make dumplings.If he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling,how many whole dumplings can Omar

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Omar can make 16 dumplings with some dough to spare

Step-by-step explanation:

you should convert each value to have the same denominator to make the equation easier

3 and 1/14 cups is the same as 43/14 cups of dough

so the total 43/14 needs to be divided by 3/16

43/14 divided by 3/16 = 43/14 * 16/3

=688/42 = 16.3809...

so Omar can make 16 dumplings with some dough to spare
