Question

Faze is making muffins. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of walnuts to sprinkle on the top of the muffins. They plan to put nuts on only 1/4 of the muffins. Write an expression and solve to find the amount of walnuts Faze needs for 1/4 of the muffins.

Answer 1

To find the amount of walnuts Faze needs for 1/4 of the muffins, we can set up a proportion using the total amount of walnuts needed for all the muffins.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of walnuts Faze needs for 1/4 of the muffins, we can set up a proportion using the total amount of walnuts needed for all the muffins. If the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of walnuts for the top of the muffins and Faze plans to put nuts on only 1/4 of the muffins, we can set up the proportion:

1. 1/4 of the muffins / all the muffins = 1/2 cup of walnuts / x

Cross multiplying, we have:

1. x = (1/4 of the muffins) * (1/2 cup of walnuts)

Therefore, Faze needs (1/4 of the muffins) * (1/2 cup of walnuts) to sprinkle on the top of the muffins.
