Question

Given the recipe: 2 cups flour+ 1 egg+3 oz blueberries 4 muffins. Assuming you have sufficient flour and blueberries, you can make 16 muffins from 3 eggs (T/F)

Answer 1

False, we cannot made 16 muffins from 3 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cups flour + 1 egg + 3 oz blueberries → 4 muffins

According top recipe, 2 cups of flour, 1 egg and 3 oz of blueberries are made into batter to give 4 muffins.

Then 16 muffins will made from:

For each muffin we need =
`(1)/(4) egg`

Then for 16 muffins we will need:

`(1)/(4)* 14 eggs=4 eggs`

4 eggs will be required to make 16 muffins

From 1 egg we can made 4 muffins

Then from 3 eggs we can made = 3 × 4 muffins = 12 muffins

12 muffins will made from 3 eggs.

We cannot make 16 muffins from 3 eggs.
