Question

A recipe that makes eight jumbo blueberry muffins calls for one and a half teaspoons of baking powder how much baking powder is needed to make three dozen jumbo muffins

Answer 1

If you would like to know how much baking powder is needed to make three dozen jumbo muffins, you can calculate this using the following steps:

8 jumbo blueberry muffins ... 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
3 dozen jumbo muffins = 3 * 12 = 36 muffins ... x teaspoons of baking powder = ?

8 * x = 1 1/2 * 36
8 * x = 3/2 * 36
8 * x = 54
x = 54 / 8
x = 27 / 4 = 6 3/4 teaspoons

The correct result would be 6 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder.
