10/3 bran flakes can make a dozen muffins

A recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of bran flakes

The recipe can make 9 muffins

Let's calculate the amount of bran flakes it will take to make 1 muffin

5/2 = 9

x= 1

cross multiply

9x= 5/2

x= 5/18

A dozen is 12, the number of bran flakes to make a dozen can be calculated as follows

5/18= 1

y= 12

cross multiply

y= 5/18 × 12

y= 10/3

Hence it will take 10/3 to make a dozen muffins
