Question

jessica needs to bake 50 muffins her baking pan holds 12 muffins how many rounds of baking will she need to do

Answer 1

Let x be the number of rounds of baking. Jessica's baking pan holds 12 muffins. Total 50 muffins is to be made. Hence, we can write,

`\begin{gathered} 12x=50 \\ x=(50)/(12)=(25)/(6)=4(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

So, we obtained that x is equal to 4 1/6. The number of rounds cannot be a fraction. Here, the number of rounds is equal to the sum of 4 and a fraction 1/6. So, we can say that 5 rounds is needed to make 50 muffins.
