Question

A muffin recipe, which yields 12 muffins, calls for 2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour. The same recipe calls for 3/4 cup of coconut for every cup of chopped apple.

If all ingredients in this recipe are changed proportionately, how many muffins should you yield from a batch that contains 1 1/8 cups of chopped apple? how many muffins can you make

Answer 1

From the recipe, we can see that for every cup of chopped apple there would be a yield of 12 muffins, therefore the ratio is 12 muffins: 1 cup of chopped apple. If there is
`1 (1)/(8)`, we just need to remember that
`(12)/(1) = (x)/( 1(1)/(8) )`, therefore the yield for the new amount of chopped apples would be, 13.5 muffins
