Question: Nevaeh is making dumplings. If she uses $\frac{1}{3}$ cup of dough for each dumpling, how much dough does Nevaeh need to make 2 dumplings?
To solve, we'll need to ________, because we know the SIZE of the groups and the ________, but we don't know the ________.
1. **State the problem:** Nevaeh uses $\frac{1}{3}$ cup of dough for each dumpling. We want to find out how much dough she needs to make 2 dumplings.
2. **Identify the formula:** The total dough needed is the number of dumplings multiplied by the dough per dumpling.
$$\text{Total dough} = \text{Number of dumplings} \times \text{Dough per dumpling}$$
3. **Substitute the values:**
$$\text{Total dough} = 2 \times \frac{1}{3}$$
4. **Multiply:**
$$2 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$$
5. **Interpretation:** Nevaeh needs $\frac{2}{3}$ cup of dough to make 2 dumplings.
**Final answer:** $\frac{2}{3}$ cup of dough.
