Question

A recipe that makes 8 jumbo blueberry muffins calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder how much making baking powder is needed to make 3 dozen jumbo muffins

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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
