How many dozen are in 90? How will you find out?
Once you find that number, then multiply by 0.25 cup (1/4 cup), and see what happens.
Let us know.

Sorry for not responding, I think I have to divide 12 into 90 which would give 7.5...7.5 x 0.25= 1.875. Now what /Writeteacher?

2.5 dozen = 28
.25/28 = x/90
To find x, multiply both sides by 90 and then divide by 28.
.25/28 = x/90
To find x, multiply both sides by 90 and then divide by 28.
