a dozen is 12 jumbo muffins, so 3 dozen is 36 muffins.

We know how much sugar is needed for 8 muffins, and 36 divided by 8 is equal to 4. So we need four times the previous amount.

1.5 tsp x 4 = 6 teaspoons.

we know that

For make
8 jumbo blueberry muffins is needed
1(1)/(2) teaspoons of baking powder


1(1)/(2)=1.5

So

by proportion


(8)/(1.5) =(36)/(x) \\ \\ 8x=36*1.5\\ \\ x=(36*1.5)/(8) \\ \\ x=6.75


x=6(3)/(4) teaspoons of baking powder

therefore

the answer is


6(3)/(4) teaspoons of baking powder
