Answer:

I believe it is C

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I decided to use the proportion method. (Before I use this method, let's change $\frac{3}{8}$ into a decimal. So, that will be 0.375.

We know that we can cross multiply in a proportion

$\frac{0.375 cups}{12 cupcakes} = \frac{2cups}{x}$

0.375x = 24

x = 64

round to tens

60
