(1/2)/12=1/24. So A is correct. There is no difference between A and B... F is also correct....we multiply 12 by 2 to get 1 cup per 24 muffins.
7/8 would be 52.5 minutes
First get them all on one side
add 7x+60 to both sides
0=x^2+17x+60
now factor
what 2 numbers mutltiply to get 60 and add to get 17?
5 and 12
0=(x+5)(x+12)
set each to zero
0=x+5
-5=x
0=x+12
-12=x
the factored form is (x+5)(x+12)=0
the solutions are x=-12 and -5
