The problem in the image asks:

**"Ella is making dumplings. If she uses \( \frac{2}{3} \) cup of dough for each dumpling, how much dough does Ella need to make 20 dumplings?"**

To solve the problem, we multiply the amount of dough needed for one dumpling by the total number of dumplings:

\[
\text{Total dough} = \frac{2}{3} \times 20
\]

Now let's calculate it:

\[
\frac{2}{3} \times 20 = \frac{2 \times 20}{3} = \frac{40}{3}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
\frac{40}{3} \approx 13 \frac{1}{3} \, \text{cups of dough}
\]

So, Ella needs **13⅓ cups** of dough to make 20 dumplings.

Here are five related questions to consider:
1. If Ella wanted to make 30 dumplings, how much dough would she need?
2. How would the calculation change if each dumpling required \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup of dough?
3. If Ella only has 10 cups of dough, how many dumplings can she make?
4. What if she decides to make only 15 dumplings? How much dough would she need then?
5. How can you express the total dough required as a function of the number of dumplings?

**Tip:** When dealing with fractions in word problems, always ensure you multiply correctly and simplify the final result.

Ella is making dumplings. If she uses 2/3 cup of dough for each dumpling, how much dough does Ella need to make 20 dumplings?
