Xxx’s recipe from oatmeal muffins calls for 2 1/2 cups of oatmeal and makes one dozen muffins.

If he makes 3 dozen muffins for a club meeting and 2 1/2 dozen muffins for a family reunion how much oatmeal will he use?

Answer:18.75

Because if you combine each group of dozens you can then do 5x2.5 which equals 12.5 so then you do 1.5 of 2.5 and get 6.25
