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

Well, let's break it down!
If Omar has 2 3/4 cups of dough, and he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling, we can find out how many dumplings he can make by dividing the total amount of dough by the amount of dough used for each dumpling.
First, let's convert the mixed number 2 3/4 to an improper fraction.
2 3/4 = (2 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 11/4
Now we can divide 11/4 by 3/16 to find the number of dumplings Omar can make.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, 11/4 divided by 3/16 is the same as 11/4 multiplied by 16/3.
(11/4) * (16/3) = (11 * 16) / (4 * 3) = 176/12
Now, we can simplify the fraction. After simplifying, we get:
176/12 = 44/3
But since we're counting whole dumplings, we need to divide the numerator (44) by the denominator (3) and ignore the remainder.
44 divided by 3 equals 14 with a remainder of 2.
So, Omar can make 14 whole dumplings!
Hope that adds a little flavor to your question!
To determine how many whole dumplings Omar can make, you need to divide the total amount of dough he has by the amount of dough used for each dumpling.
First, convert the mixed number 2 3/4 cup to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator of the fraction (4), and add the numerator (3). This gives you 2 * 4 + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11.
So, 2 3/4 cup of dough is equivalent to 11/4 cup of dough.
Next, divide the total amount of dough (11/4 cup) by the amount of dough used for each dumpling (3/16 cup).
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, you need to multiply (11/4) * (16/3):
(11/4) * (16/3) = (11 * 16) / (4 * 3) = 176 / 12
Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
(176/4) / (12/4) = 44/3
Therefore, Omar can make 44/3 dumplings.
If you want to know the answer in terms of whole numbers, you can divide the numerator (44) by the denominator (3) and get the quotient and remainder.
44 divided by 3 is 14 with a remainder of 2.
So, Omar can make 14 whole dumplings with 2/3 of another dumpling left.
