Question

A recipe makes 12 muffins. Your muffin pan will hold a total of 18 muffins. Your pan will hold __________ the recipe.

a) 1.5 times
b) 2 times
c) 0.5 times
d) 3 times

Answer 1

The muffin pan can hold 1.5 times the recipe since 18 (the pan's capacity) divided by 12 (number of muffins per recipe) equals 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The muffin pan can hold 1.5 times the recipe. To determine how many times more your muffin pan will hold compared to the original recipe, you can divide the capacity of your muffin pan by the number of muffins made by the recipe. In this case, 18 muffins (pan capacity) divided by 12 muffins (recipe) equals 1.5.
