To determine how many cups of flour are needed to make 4 muffins, we can set up a proportion based on the information provided.
The recipe states that 3 cups of flour make 12 muffins.
First, calculate the amount of flour needed for 1 muffin:
\[
\text{Flour per muffin} = \frac{3 \text{ cups}}{12 \text{ muffins}} = 0.25 \text{ cups per muffin}
\]
Now, to find the amount of flour needed for 4 muffins:
\[
\text{Flour for 4 muffins} = 0.25 \text{ cups per muffin} \times 4 \text{ muffins} = 1 \text{ cup}
\]
Therefore, **1 cup** of flour is needed to make 4 muffins.
