Question

A muffin recipe calls for 2 eggs to make 12 muffins.

Answer 1

You can make an equation
2 eggs/ 12 muffins = x eggs/ 36 muffins
They will have to be proportional
2/12 = x/36
12 * 3 = 36
2 * 3 = 6 eggs

You will need 6 eggs

Answer 2

Answer:

6 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

since recipe states that to make 12 muffins you need 2 muffins

2. = 12

represent the unknown with x

2. = 12

x. = 36

Then you'll cross multiply

36 × 2 = 72

12x = 72

x = 72 ÷ 12

x = 6
