The following is the recipe to make one dozen muffins: 1 cups flour; 2 cups sugar; 2 tsps. baking powder; 1 egg; 1 cup Crisco; 1 cup skim milk; 1 cup blueberries. If Ron Regis wants to make 18 muffins, how much of each ingredient will be required for the recipe?
Answer provided by our tutors
Since 1 dozen is 12 follows 1 = 1/12 dozen.
18 muffins = 18*(1/12) dozens = 1.5 dozens.
To make 18 muffins you will need 1.5 times the ingredients needed for one dozen muffins or:
1.5 cups flour
1.5*2 = 3 cups sugar
1.5*2 = 3 tsps baking powder
1.5*1 = 1.5 egss
1.5*1 = 1.5 cup Crisco
1.5*1 = 1.5 cup skim milk
1.5*1 = 1.5 cup blueberries
