Answer 1

a muffin recipe that yields 36 muffins n only wants 12 muffins so the new recipe must be 12/36 = 1/3 of the original

new Doughnut Muffins

(5 1/4)/3=(21/4)/3=7/4= 1 3/4 cups flour

1/3 cup oil

(4 1/2)/3=(9/2)/3=3/2= 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder cups sugar

(1 1/2)/3=(3/2)/3= 1/2 teaspoons salt

3/3= 1 eggs

(1 1/2)/3= 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg cups milk

(3/4)/3 = 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Answer 2

The original recipe is for 36 muffins, they want to make 12:

Find the ratio:

12/36 = 1/3

They would need 1/3 of the recipe, so you would divide all the ingredients by 3.

Flour: 5 1/4 cups = 21/4 cups

21/4 / 3 = 21/12 = 1 3/4 cups.

Oil: 1 cup / 3 = 1/3 cup

Baking powder: 4 1/2 = 9/2

9/2 / 3 = 9/6 = 1 1/2 teaspoons

salt: 1 1/2 = 3/2

3/2 / 3 = 3/6 = 1/2 teaspoons

eggs 3 / 1 = 1 egg

Nutmeg: 1 1/2 = 3/2

3/2 / 3 = 1/2 teaspoons

cinnamon: 3/4 / 3 = 1/4 teaspoon

The amount of sugar and milk aren't listed but just divide those by 3 to find the amount needed.
