Caleb has 1 1/5 cups of dough to make dumplings. If he uses 1/2 cups of dough for each dumpling, what is the maximum number of full dumplings Caleb can make?

1 answer

(6/5) / (1/2) = 6/5 * 2 = 12/5 = 2 2/5
so only 2 dumplings

makes sense, since 1 cup makes two 1/2-c dumplings, and the extra 1/5 cup is not enough for a third.
