A recipe that makes 10 blueberry muffins calls for 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder. How much baking powder is needed to make 3 dozen muffins?

Answer 1

4 1/2 teaspoons is your answer

Answer 2

Answer: 4 1/2 teaspoons

Explanation:

First, divide 1.25, aka 1 1/4, by 10 to get .125, then multiply .125 by 36 because 12 x 3 = 36. Then, at the end you get 4.5 teaspoons (4 1/2)
