Question

You are asked to bake muffins for a breakfast meeting. Just as you are about to start making them, you get a call saying that the number of people coming to the meeting has doubled! Your original recipe called for three eggs.How many eggs do you need to make twice as many muffins? Express your answer as an integer.

Answer 1

Answer: 6 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of eggs required for the original recipe of muffins = 3

If the number of people coming to the meeting has doubled, then the number of eggs you need to make twice as many muffins will be the product of 2 and 3.

i.e.  The number of eggs you need to make twice as many muffins = $2\times3=6$

Hence, you need 6 eggs to make twice as many muffins.
