Question

Omar has 2-5/8 cups of dough to make dumplings. If he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling, how many whole dumplings can Omar make?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of whole dumpling does Omar make is 14 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of cups does Omar has to make dumplings = x = 2$\dfrac{5}{8}$

i.e x = $\dfrac{16 + 5}{8}$

or, x =  $\dfrac{21}{8}$

Again

The number of cups uses for each dumpling = y =  $\dfrac{3}{16}$

i.e y = $\dfrac{3}{16}$

Let The number of whole dumpling does Omar make = z

So,  number of whole dumpling does Omar make = $\dfrac{\textrm number of cups does Omar has to make dumplings}{number of cups uses for each dumpling }$

Or, z = $\dfrac{x}{y}$

Or, z = $\frac{\frac{21}{8}}{\frac{3}{16}}$

Or, z = $\frac{21\times 16}{8\times 3}$

∴  z = 7 × 2

i.e z = 14

So, The number of whole dumpling does Omar make = z = 14

Hence, The number of whole dumpling does Omar make is 14 . Answer
