Question

A recipe for 12 corn muffins calls for 1 cup of flour. The number of muffins you can make varies directly with the amount of flour you use. You have 2 1/2 cups of flour. How many muffins can you make?

Answer 1

1 cup makes 12
2.5 cups make (12x2.5) = 30 muffins

Answer 2

30 muffins.

12 muffins for every 1 cup. 6 muffins for every 1/2 cup. So, 2 cups= 24 muffins and 24+6=30.
