Question

A recipe that makes 8 jumbo blueberry muffins calls for 1 1/2

teaspoons of baking powder. How much baking powder is needed to make 3 dozen
jumbo muffins?

Answer 1

A dozen is 12 jumbo muffins, so 3 dozen is 36 muffins. We Know how much sugar is needed for 8bis equal to 4. So we need 4Xs the previous amount. 1.5 tspx4=6 teaspoons

Answer 2

The dozen is 36...36/8= 4.5. So 1.5x4.5=6.75 which converts to 6 3/4 teaspoons
