Question

How much floor do you need for one
muffin if you used 5 cups of floor equally
to bake 2 1/2 muffins yesterday?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that we need 5 cups of flour for 2.5 muffins. We want to find how much flour is needed for 1 muffin. Let's set up a proportion:

$\frac{5}{2.5} =\frac{x}{1}$ , where x is how much flour is needed for 1 muffin

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2.5x = 5

x = 2

Thus, you need 2 cups of flour for one muffin.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 muffins : 5 cups

1 muffin : x cups

x = 2
