Question

a recipe for 24 bran muffins requires 2.25 cups of flour. You want to make 30 bran muffons. which proportion could be solved to find x, the total number of cups of flour needed

Answer 1

Number of cups water require for 30 muffins = 2.82 cups (Approx.)

Option "D"

Explanation:

Given:

24 bran muffins required = 2.25 cups of flour

Find:

Number of cups water require for 30 muffins

Computation:

Assume;

Number of cups water require for 30 muffins = x

So,

24 / 2.25 = 30 / x

x = [30 × 2.25] / 24

x = 67.65 / 24

x = 2.8187

Number of cups water require for 30 muffins = 2.82 cups (Approx.)
