Question

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 make?

Answer 1

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
