Question

A recipe uses teaspoon of cinnamon for every 4 cups of granola mix.

How many teaspoons are needed for 12 cups of granola mix?

Answer 1

You would need 3 teaspoons of cinnamon for 12 cups of granola mix.

Answer 2

Okay, here are the steps to solve this:

* The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for every 4 cups of granola mix.

* We are making 12 cups of granola.

* So to make 12 cups, we need 12 / 4 = 3 times as much cinnamon.

* Since each 4 cups uses 1 teaspoon, 12 cups will need 3 teaspoons.

Therefore, for 12 cups of granola mix, the recipe will call for 3 teaspoons of cinnamon.
