Question

A muffin recipe calls for 8 cups of flour and yields 24 muffins. if natalie wants to make 60 muffins, how much flour will she need?

Answer 1

For this question, we will be doing proportions, and from there we can solve for x.

$\frac{8}{24} = \frac{x}{60}$

Cross multiply to get $24x=480$

Then divide by 24 on each side, and your answer should be $x=20$


In short, Natalie needs 20 cups of flour for 60 muffins.
