Q. Hayley invited a friend over for dinner. She wants to make personal pies to serve for dessert. Hayley makes 1151\frac{1}{5} cups of dough to use for the crust and splits the dough evenly between 22 pies. How much dough does Hayley use for each pie? Use the model to help answer the question. Write your answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number. \newline____ cups
  1. Calculate total dough amount: Calculate the total amount of dough Hayley made.\newline1151 \frac{1}{5} cups of dough is equivalent to 65\frac{6}{5} cups.\newlineCalculation: 115=1+15=55+15=651 \frac{1}{5} = 1 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} cups.
  2. Divide dough for pies: Divide the total dough into two equal parts for each pie.\newlineCalculation: (65)/2=65×12=610=35(\frac{6}{5}) / 2 = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} cups.
