Answer 1

Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:

first i make it into a improper fraction which is 9/4, now i want to make the fraction into 16ths so i can dived it by 3/16, so now i do 16 dived by 4 which is 4 so now i need to do 9/4 times 4 which equals 36/16. now that u have the same denominators you will dived 36/16 by 3/16 and that will get u 12

Answer 2

Answer:

14 biscuits

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Shawna uses 3/16 of the dough for each biscuit we just need to find how many 3/16ths are in our 2 3/4 cups of dough. To do this, you can just perform the calculation:

$\frac{\frac{11}{4} }{\frac{3}{16} } = 14.666667$

or

$\frac{2.75}{0.1875} = 14.666667$               (The decimals are just the fractions in decimal form)

We don't have enough dough to round up to 15 biscuits, so we only have enough to make 14.
