To find the total number of muffins \( m \) in the basket, we begin with the information given in the problem:
\( \frac{5}{9}m = 15 \)
To solve for \( m \), we can rearrange this equation by multiplying both sides by \( \frac{9}{5} \):
\[
m = 15 \times \frac{9}{5}
\]
Calculating the multiplication on the right side:
\[
m = 15 \times 1.8 = 27
\]
Thus, the total number of muffins in the basket is \( \boxed{27} \).
\( \frac{5}{9}m = 15 \)
To solve for \( m \), we can rearrange this equation by multiplying both sides by \( \frac{9}{5} \):
\[
m = 15 \times \frac{9}{5}
\]
Calculating the multiplication on the right side:
\[
m = 15 \times 1.8 = 27
\]
Thus, the total number of muffins in the basket is \( \boxed{27} \).
