Jonah wants to use all of his flour to make as many muffins as possible using the recipes. Part A: Exactly how many cups of brown sugar will Jonah use, if he uses all 7 cups of flour? Part B: Exactly how many muffins will Jonah make if he uses all 7 cups of flour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part A: 4.5 cups

Part B: 3

# of muffins = 7/(2 + 1/3) = 3

Cups of sugar = 3 * (1 +1/2) = 4.5 cups

Part B:

We solved this in Part A

The number of muffins is 3
