Answer: 9.46 grams

Explanation:

Given: Number of muffins made in one batch = 1 dozen =12 ]

[ as 1 dozen = 12]

Also, in one batch the quantity of sugar =
\frac14 pound

As there are 454 grams of sugar in a pound.

So, in one batch the quantity of sugar =
\frac14*454=113.5\ grams

i.e. in 12 muffins , there is 113.5 grams of sugar.

Then, in one muffin the quantity of sugar = (113.5 grams) ÷ 12

≈9.46 grams

Hence, there are 9.46 grams of sugar in 1 muffin.
