Question

A recipe for 1 batch of muffins calls for 3 cup of almond milk. Rose has 6 cups of almond milk. How many batches of muffins could she make?​

Answer 1

Number of batches she can make = 2

Explanation:

Batch of muffins : cups of almond milk

= 1 : 3

Rose has 6 cups of almond milk.

How many batches of muffins could she make?​

Let

x = number of batches she can make

Batch of muffins : cups of almond milk = x : 6

Equate both ratios

1 : 3 = x : 6

1/3 = x/6

Cross product

1 * 6 = 3 * x

6 = 3x

x = 6/3

x = 2 batches

Number of batches she can make = 2
