Respuesta :
3 dumplings can be made by Serenity
Solution:
Given that,
Serenity has [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of dough to make dumplings
She uses [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cup of dough for each dumpling
To find: Number of whole dumplings made
From given information,
[tex]\text{Total cups of dough } = 2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2+1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cups of dough for 1 dumpling } = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
To find the number of whole dumplings made, we can divide the total cups of dough by cups of dough for 1 dumpling
[tex]\text{Number of whole dumplings made } = \frac{\text{total cups of dough}}{\text{cups of dough for 1 dumpling}}\\\\\text{Number of whole dumplings made } = \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\\\\\text{Number of whole dumplings made } = \frac{10}{3} = 3.33 \approx 3[/tex]
Thus 3 dumplings can be made
