On a coordinate plane, a graph titled Blueberry Breakfast Treats has batches on the x-axis and Blueberries on the y-axis. Points A is (2, 1.5), point B is (2.6, 2.25), point C is (3, 2.25), point D is (4, 3).

If she does not want any leftovers, which point should Mrs. Penney use to determine the amount of blueberries she will need to make her muffins?
A
B
C
D

Answer 1

She needs 36 muffins ÷ 12 per batch = 3 batches. Each batch uses 3/4 cup, so 3 × 3/4 = 9/4 = 2.25 cups. Point C is (3, 2.25), so choose C.
