Question

Uncle Buck used 5 cups of flour to make 8 dozen muffins. How many

cups of flour would he need to make 20 dozen muffins?

Answer 1

12.5 cups of flour are needed

Explanation:

Divide 20 dozen by 8 dozen to find the scale factor:

20 / 8 = 2.5

He needs 2.5 times more flour.

Multiply 5 cups by 2.5:

5 x 2.5 = 12.5 cups of flour are needed.

Hopefully this helps!
