Question

A muffin recipe calls for 8 cups of flour and yields 24 muffins. if natalie wants to make 60 muffins, how much flour will she need?

Answer 1

For this question, we will be doing proportions, and from there we can solve for x.


`(8)/(24) = (x)/(60)`

Cross multiply to get
`24x=480`

Then divide by 24 on each side, and your answer should be
`x=20`


In short, Natalie needs 20 cups of flour for 60 muffins.
