Answer 2

Answer: Yes, the number of muffins in 4 batches = 48

Explanation:

From the given table, we can see that thev rate of change of muffins is constant.

`r=(60-36)/(5-3)=(24)/(2)=12`

Thus, the number of muffins in 1 batch=
`(36)/(3)=12`

Let x be the number of batches and y be the number of muffins, then

`y=12x`, 12 is the constant rate of change.

The number of muffins in 4 batches (put x=4) is given by :-
`y=4*12=48`
