Question

To make 1 1/2 dozen muffins, a recipe uses 3 1/2 cups of flour. How many cups of flour are needed for every dozen muffins made?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n = # cup(s) of flour

1.5 muffins            x       12 (dozen muffins)       > fractions

3.5 cups of flour            n

12 x 3.5 = 1.5 (n)

42 = 1.5 (n)   > multiply 12 and 3.5

42/1.5 = n   > divide 1.5 on both sides, cancels out on right

28 = n # cups of flour
