Answer 1

Manuel can make 5 batches of muffins using Recipe 1

Explanation:

You want to know the value of b in the equation 2b = 10, where b is the number of batches of muffins Manuel can make using recipe 1.

Solution

Divide both sides of the given equation by 2 so solve for the value of b.

(2b)/2 = (10)/2

b = 5

Manuel can make 5 batches of muffins using Recipe 1.
