You have ⅔ of a bag of flour. You use ¾ of the flour to make empanada dough. How much of the entire bag do you use to make the dough?
(3/4) * (2/3) = 6/12 = 3/6 = 1/2
1/2 bag to make dough
Same as above
To find out how much of the entire bag is used to make the dough, we need to multiply the fraction of the bag you have (⅔) by the fraction of the flour you use (¾).
(⅔) * (¾) = (2/3) * (3/4) = 6/12 = 1/2
Therefore, you use 1/2 of the entire bag to make the empanada dough.
To find out how much of the entire bag of flour you use to make the dough, we need to multiply the fraction representing the amount of flour you have by the fraction representing the amount used for the dough.
The given information states that you have ⅔ of a bag of flour, which can be written as the fraction ⅔.
The fraction representing the amount used for the dough is ¾.
To multiply these fractions, we multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) separately.
Multiplying the numerators, we get: 2 × 3 = 6.
Multiplying the denominators, we get: 3 × 4 = 12.
Therefore, you are using 6/12 of the entire bag of flour to make the dough.
Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 6.
Dividing 6 by 6, we get 1.
Dividing 12 by 6, we get 2.
So, you are using 1/2 of the entire bag of flour to make the dough.
Therefore, you are using half of the entire bag of flour to make the dough.
