Answer 1

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/2 cups x 2 bread = 12

12 cups x 3 for 1/3 per recipe =36

Answer 2

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 loaves of bread: 1 1/2 (flour per one loaf) * 2 (amt of loaves) = 3 (total flour used)

15 (total amt of flour) - 3 (flour used to bake bread) = 12 (remaining flour)

12 (remaining flour) / 1/3 (flour per muffin) = 36 (muffins able to be made)
