Question

Misha and her cousin Darius made muffins for the Clark family reunion. Misha made 17 more muffins than Darius. Dark is made 56 muffins. They put the same amount of muffins on 12 plates. What is the unit for this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of muffins per plate.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of muffins made by Dark

Then, number of muffins made by Misha =

$x + 17$

For x  = 56

Muffins made by Dark = x = 56

Muffins made by Misha =

$x + 17 = 56 + 17 = 73$

Total number of muffins =

$56 + 73 = 129$

Total  number of plates = 12

Number of muffins on each plate =

$=\dfrac{\text{Total number of muffins}}{\text{Total number of plates}}=\dfrac{129}{12} = 10.75\approx 11$

Thus, there were approximately 11 muffins on each plate.

Thus, the unit of this problem is number of muffins per plate.
