Question

A recipe that makes 8 jumbo blueberry muffins calls for 112 teaspoons of baking powder. How much baking powder is needed to make 3 dozen jumbo muffins?

Answer 1

Since you need 112 teaspoons to make 8 muffins to make one muffin you’ll need 14 teaspoons. So in order to make 36 muffins ( 3 dozens ) it’ll take 14 x 36, which is 504

Answer 2

a dozen is 12 jumbo muffins, so 3 dozen is 36 muffins.

We know how much sugar is needed for 8 muffins, and 36 divided by 8 is equal to 4. So we need four times the previous amount.

1.5 tsp x 4 = 6 teaspoons.
