Answer:

Margaret use
4(3)/(8) teaspoons of vanilla .

Explanation:

Vanilla required for 12 cupcakes =
1 (3)/(4) = (7)/(4)

Vanilla required for 1 cupcakes =
((7)/(4))/(12)

=
(7)/(48)

Vanilla required for 30 cupcakes =
(7)/(48) * 30

=
(35)/(8)

=
4(3)/(8)

Hence Margaret use
4(3)/(8) teaspoons of vanilla .
