Question

25 muffins require 35 ounce of flour. how much flouris required for 10 muffins?

Answer 1

Answer: 14 ounces of flour

Explanation:

We can set up a proportion to solve this problem using ratios.

The ratio of muffins to flour is 25:35, or simplified, 5:7. So for every 5 muffins, we need 7 ounces of flour.

Now we can multiply the ratio by 2, to get 10 muffins and the respective ounces of flour required.

5 : 7

x2 x2

10 : 14

So, we get the ratio 10:14.

So, for every 10 muffins, we need 14 ounces of flour.

Answer 2

The 14 ounces of flour are required for 10 muffins.

We know that 25 muffins require 35 ounces of flour. We can set up a proportion to find out how much flour is required for 10 muffins.

25 muffins : 35 ounces

10 muffins : x ounces

Cross-multiplying, we get:

25x = 350

Dividing both sides by 25, we get:

x = 14

Therefore, 14 ounces of flour are required for 10 muffins.
