Answer 1

Hi!

Your answer would be: 10 cups of flour.

Reason being: You have 8 cups of flour to 24 muffins, which can be shown as 8:24, or 8/24.

You need to find x cups of flour to 30 muffins, which can be shown as x:30, or x/30. You will want to cross multiply.

8 x 24 30

8 x 30 = 24 x X

240 = 24x

10 = x

Therefore, you need 10 cups of flour.

Hope this helps!
