Answer:
The total batches of muffins that Juan can make is 12 batches
Explanation:
Given, Juan has [tex]7 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]cups of chopped almonds
He needs 5/8 cups of almonds for 1 batch of apple cinnamon muffins
Applying the rule of unitary method,
No. of almond muffin batches in 5/8 cups of chopped almond = 1 batch
No. of almond muffin batches in [tex]7 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]cups of chopped almond = [tex]\frac{7 \frac{1}{2} * 1}{\frac{5}{8}}[/tex] batches
Solving, [tex]\frac{15}{2} * 1 * \frac{8}{5}=3^{*} 4[/tex] = 12 batches
Therefore, Juan can make 12 batches
