Question

The following is the recipe to make one dozen muffins: 1 cups flour; 2 cups sugar; 2 tsps. Baking powder; 1 egg; 1 cup Crisco; 1 cup skin milk; 1 cup blueberries. If Ron Regis wants to make 18 muffins, how much of each ingredient will be required for the recipe? (Remember you can split eggs in half)

Answer 1

1.5 cups of flower, 3 cups sugar, 3 tbsp. baking powder, 1.5 eggs, 1.5 cups of Crisco, 1.5 cups of skim milk (hopefully not skin milk), and 1.5 cups of blueberries. Because 18 is 12 x 1.5 you just multiply all the given numbers by 1.5.
