Valentina is baking jumbo cinnamon rolls for a family breakfast. She uses all the dough she made to form 12 cinnamon rolls of equal weight. The recipe usually makes 36 ounces of dough, but Valentina made more dough than that so she can have larger cinnamon rolls.
Let x represent how many ounces of dough Valentina uses for each cinnamon roll
If Valentina uses x ounces of dough for each cinnamon roll and she made 12 cinnamon rolls, then the total amount of dough she used is 12*x.
If Valentina made more dough than the recipe calls for and the recipe usually makes 36 ounces of dough, then 12*x > 36.
Simplifying the inequality, we get 12x > 36.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 12, we get x > 3.
So Valentina used more than 3 ounces of dough for each cinnamon roll.
To find out the weight of each cinnamon roll, we need to divide the total amount of dough by the number of cinnamon rolls. We can use the formula:
Weight of each cinnamon roll = Total amount of dough / Number of cinnamon rolls
In this case, the total amount of dough is x ounces and the number of cinnamon rolls is 12. So, the formula becomes:
Weight of each cinnamon roll = x / 12
Therefore, the weight of each cinnamon roll is x / 12 ounces.
To find out how many ounces of dough Valentina uses for each cinnamon roll, we need to solve the equation:
12 * x = 36
This equation represents that Valentina uses x ounces of dough for each of the 12 cinnamon rolls, and the total amount of dough used should be equal to 36 ounces.
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 12:
x = 36 / 12
Simplifying, we get:
x = 3
Therefore, Valentina uses 3 ounces of dough for each jumbo cinnamon roll.
