Question

Maria used one bag of flour to bake some bread and muffins. First, she baked two loaves of bread. Then she used the remaining flour to make muffins. If the bag contained 15 cups of flour, how many muffins did Maria make?

recipe - amount of flour needed
bread - 1 1/2 cups per loaf
muffin - 1/3 cup per muffin
rolls - 1/4 cup per roll




a
12 muffins
b
4 muffins
c
36 muffins
d
45 muffins

Answer 1

C.

Explanation:

2 loaves of bread: 1 1/2 (flour per one loaf) * 2 (amt of loaves) = 3 (total flour used)

15 (total amt of flour) - 3 (flour used to bake bread) = 12 (remaining flour)

12 (remaining flour) / 1/3 (flour per muffin) = 36 (muffins able to be made)

Answer 2

c

Explanation:

1 1/2 cups x 2 bread = 12

12 cups x 3 for 1/3 per recipe =36
