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

plsss me

Omar can make 14 whole dumplings.

Step-by-step explanation: Make 2 3/4 an improper fraction. To do this, multiply 2 by the denominator, 4. From this, you get 8. Then add 8 to the numerator, which is 3, and you get 11. Keep the denominator and you'll have 11/4.

To divide fractions, you make 3/16 its reciprocal by basically flipping the fraction so that the numerator becomes the denominator and vise versa, making it 16/3. Then multiply 11/4 and 16/3. 11 x 16 is 176; 4 x 3 is 12. The result is 176/12. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4. Your resulting answer should be 44/3. Simplify even further by simple division. Your final answer should be 14 2/3. Discard the 2/3 because Omar needs to make whole dumplings. So the answer is 14.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
