A recipe that makes 8 jumbo blueberry muffins calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder how much making baking powder is needed to make 3 dozen jumbo muffins

Respuesta :

a dozen is 12 jumbo muffins, so 3 dozen is 36 muffins.

We know how much sugar is needed for 8 muffins, and 36 divided by 8 is equal to 4. So we need four times the previous amount.

1.5 tsp x 4 = 6 teaspoons.



we know that

For make [tex] 8 [/tex] jumbo blueberry muffins is needed [tex] 1\frac{1}{2} [/tex] teaspoons of baking powder

[tex] 1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 [/tex]

So

by proportion

[tex] \frac{8}{1.5} =\frac{36}{x} \\ \\ 8x=36*1.5\\ \\ x=\frac{36*1.5}{8} \\ \\ x=6.75 [/tex]

[tex] x=6\frac{3}{4} [/tex] teaspoons of baking powder

therefore

the answer is

[tex] 6\frac{3}{4} [/tex] teaspoons of baking powder
