Answer:
Qasim can make 23 and 3/4 dumplings with the given amount of dough.
Explanation:
To find out how many dumplings Qasim can make, we need to divide the total amount of dough he has by the amount of dough required per dumpling.
Qasim has 6 1/3 cups of dough, which can be represented as an improper fraction: 19/3 cups.
Each dumpling requires 4/5 cup of dough.
To find the number of dumplings, we divide the total dough by the amount of dough per dumpling:
(19/3) ÷ (4/5)
When dividing fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(19/3) × (5/4)
To simplify, we cancel out common factors between the numerators and denominators:
(19/1) × (5/4) = 95/4
The resulting fraction, 95/4, represents the number of dumplings Qasim can make. However, let's express it as a mixed number:
95 ÷ 4 = 23 remainder 3
So, Qasim can make 23 and 3/4 dumplings with the given amount of dough.
