Question

Carol used 114 cups of flour in 2 muffins. How many cups of flour are needed to make 12 similar muffins?

Answer 1

7 1/2 cups

Explanation:

If Carol uses 1 1/4 cups of flour for 2 muffins, then she will need to repeat this conversion 6 times since she wants to make identical 12 muffins in all.

So, 1 1/4 * 6 = 7 1/2

Therefore, she needs 7 1/2 cups of flour

Hope that helps! :)
