Question

Homework: Ch 5.2

Answer 1

Answer:

  30 muffins

  2.2×14 = 30.8

30 whole muffins can be made.

Additional comment

If each muffin is made about 0.6% smaller than for the standard recipe, then 31 muffins could be made from 2.2 cups of flour. Usually, this change in size will not be noticeable.
