Question

A recipe requires 3 cups of flour to bake 12 muffins. How many cups of flour are needed to bake 15 muffins?

Answer 1

3.75 cups

Explanation:

Simplify the ratio of `15:12` by dividing `15` by `12` , and you get `1.25` . That means `1.25 * 12=15`. If you then take `1.25 * 3` you get `3.75`
