A recipe for 14 banana-nut mutins calls for 1 cup of flour. The number of muffins that can be made varios directly with the amount of flour used. There are 2.2 cups of flour available. How many muffins can be made?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  30 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

2.2 cups of flour is 2.2 times the 1 cup quantity required for 14 muffins. Since muffins are proportional to flour, that means 2.2 times 14 muffins can be made. That is ...

  2.2×14 = 30.8

30 whole muffins can be made.

Additional comment

If each muffin is made about 0.6% smaller than for the standard recipe, then 31 muffins could be made from 2.2 cups of flour. Usually, this change in size will not be noticeable.
