Question

Chynna has one hour to bake muffins for the PTA bake sale. The muffins take 25 minutes to bake fully. Each pan holds one dozen muffins. The oven holds 4 pans at once. The oven takes 10 minutes to preheat, during which Chynna makes a large amount of batter. Which equation can be used to find p, the number of muffins that Chynna has time to make?

Answer 1

Total time avalable = 1 hour = 60 minnutes.
Time for preheating the oven = minutes.

Time available for baking is 60 - 10 = 50 minutes.
This allows two sets of muffins to be baked (25 minutes for each bake).

Let p = number of muffins made.
p = (4 pans)*(12 muffns/pan)*(2 sets) =96 muffns

Answer:  96 muffins
