A muffin recipe, which yields 12 muffins, calls for 2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour. The same recipe calls for 1/4 cup of coconut for every 3/4 cup of chopped apple.

If all ingredients in this recipe are changed proportionately, how many muffins should you yield from a batch that contains 1 1/8 cups of chopped apple?

Answer 1

18 muffins

Explanation:

Number of muffins

12 muffins are made when:

2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour. The same recipe calls for 1/4 cup of coconut for every 3/4 cup of chopped apple.

hence is the question asks for 1 1/8 cups of apple .

we can use cross multiplication of the chopped apples used for 12 muffins and the chopped apples used for ( x) muffins

chopped apples : muffins

3/4 : 12

1 1/8 : x

3/4 x = 12 * 1 1/8

3/4 x = 13.5

x = 13.5 / (3/4)

x = 18

18 muffins are made when 1 1/8 cups of chopped apples are added

Answer 2

The number of muffin can yield is 18.

Explanation:

Given:

The recipe needs
`(3)/(4)` cup chopped apple.

To find:

Umber of muffins when 1
`(1)/(8)` cup chopped apple is given.

Solution:

1
`(1)/(8)` ÷
`(3)/(4)` = 1.5

1
`(1)/(8)` cup apple is 1.5 times of
`(3)/(4)` cup of apple

So, the number of muffins will be = 12 × 1.5

= 18

Thus 18 muffins can be yielded from a batch that contains 1 1/8 cups of chopped apple
