Answer:

16 muffins

Step-by-step explanation: So, 2/3 cups of batter per 1 muffin, and there 12 cups of batter well turn 12 into a fraction so that be 12/1, so next you would want a common denominator of three so 3x1 is 3 and 12x3 is 36 so now you have 2/3 adn 36/3. both common denominator right? so now you would divide 36 by 2 and get 16.
