Question

A recipe for making 3 dozen muffins requires 1.5 cups at flour. at this rate, how many cups of flour are required to make 60 muffins

Answer 1

you need 2.5 cups of flour to make 60 muffins because if you divide 1.5 by 3 dozen muffins then you need .5 cups of flour per dozen. count how many dozens (12) does it take to get to 60, which is 5. Finally times 5 by .5 to get 2.5.
