Question

A recipe that makes 2.5 dozen muffins requires 1.25 cups of flour mandy wants to make 10 dozen muffins. How many cups of flour will she need?

Answer 1

5 cups of flour

Explanation:

if mandy wants a total of 10 dozen muffins, and 2.5 dozen of muffins require 1.25 cups, you'd first have to divide 10 by 2.5 to get the answer of 4. this means that per 2.5 dozen muffins she will need 4 times the amount of materials in order to get a total amount of 10 dozen muffins. therefore if 2.5 dozen muffins require 1.25 cups of flour, then you'd need to multiply 1.25 by 4 which is equivalent to 5 cups of flour.

written math;

10/2.5=4

1.25*4=5

answer=5 cups of flour
