12/16, 7/16, 10/16 (not simplified, just with LCD);The LCD of the 3 fractions is 16 (from denominators) so all we have to do is multiply both the numerator by the same number that multiplies with the denominators to get 16. We leave 7/16 alone since it already has denominator of 16.
3/4 * 4 = 12/16
5/8 * 2 = 10/16
Set up a proportion:
3/4/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
3/4x = 24
Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:
x = 24 * 4/3
x = 96/3
x = 32
So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:
32 - 24 = 8
So you have 8 muffins left.
