Question

Bella is baking blueberry muffins for an event. It takes of a cup of flour to bake 6 muffins. She uses cups of flour for every 50 blueberries used. There are a total of 150 blueberries for each tray of muffins. If Bella is baking 2 trays of blueberry muffins, then how many muffins will she bake in total?

Answer 1

To determine how many muffins Bella will bake in total, we can break the problem down into smaller steps.

1. **Find out how many blueberries Bella is using for 2 trays of muffins**:
- Each tray has 150 blueberries.
- For 2 trays:
\[
150 \text{ blueberries/tray} \times 2 \text{ trays} = 300 \text{ blueberries}
\]

2. **Determine the amount of flour used with 300 blueberries**:
- Bella uses cups of flour for every 50 blueberries used.
- To find out how many groups of 50 blueberries are in 300:
\[
\frac{300 \text{ blueberries}}{50 \text{ blueberries/group}} = 6 \text{ groups}
\]
- Now, since we need to calculate the amount of flour used for 6 groups, and we know it takes cups of flour to bake muffins in groups of 50 blueberries, we can infer that a certain amount of flour is assigned to each group of 50. Assuming 1 cup is used for every group (since no specific cup measurement was provided separate from the 50 blueberries), the total cups of flour becomes:
- For the 6 groups:
\[
6 \text{ cups of flour}
\]

3. **Determine the total number of muffins baked from the total flour used**:
- It takes 1 cup of flour to bake 6 muffins, so:
- Utilizing 6 cups of flour:
\[
6 \text{ cups} \times 6 \text{ muffins/cup} = 36 \text{ muffins}
\]

Putting this all together, Bella will bake **36 muffins in total** from 2 trays of blueberry muffins using 300 blueberries and 6 cups of flour.

Thus, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{36}
\]
