Question

Part of Nicole's pumpkin muffin recipe is shown. How many cups of flour are needed to make 5 dozen muffins? (How do you do this?)

Answer 1

11.25 dozens.

Explanation:

We have been given a table of ingredients used for making 2 dozens of muffins.

First of all, we will find amount of flour used to make one dozen of muffins as:

`\text{Amount of flour used to make one dozen muffins}=\frac{4.5\text{ cup}}{\text{2 dozens}}`

`\text{Amount of flour used to make one dozen muffins}=\frac{2.25\text{ cup}}{\text{dozen}}`

`\text{Amount of flour used to make 5 dozen muffins}=\text{ 5 dozens}* \frac{2.25\text{ cup}}{\text{dozen}}`

`\text{Amount of flour used to make 5 dozen muffins}=5* 2.25\text{ cup}`

`\text{Amount of flour used to make 5 dozen muffins}=11.25\text{ cup}`

Therefore, 11.25 cups of flour are needed to make 5 dozens of muffins.
