To find out how many muffins Bella will bake in total when she bakes 2 trays, we need to first determine how many muffins she can bake with the given number of blueberries per tray.
-
Determine the number of blueberries used per tray and for two trays:
- Each tray has a total of 150 blueberries.
- Therefore, for 2 trays: \[ 150 \text{ blueberries/tray} \times 2 \text{ trays} = 300 \text{ blueberries} \]
-
Determine how many cups of flour are needed for 300 blueberries:
- Bella uses \( 1 \frac{1}{10} \) cups of flour for every 50 blueberries. First, convert \( 1 \frac{1}{10} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{1}{10} = \frac{10}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{11}{10} \text{ cups of flour} \]
- Now, we can find how many cups of flour are needed for 300 blueberries:
- First, calculate the number of 50 blueberry groups in 300 blueberries: \[ \frac{300 \text{ blueberries}}{50 \text{ blueberries/group}} = 6 \text{ groups} \]
- Next, multiply the number of groups by the amount of flour needed per group: \[ 6 \text{ groups} \times \frac{11}{10} \text{ cups/group} = \frac{66}{10} = 6.6 \text{ cups of flour} \]
-
Determine how many muffins can be baked with 6.6 cups of flour:
- We know that \( \frac{3}{5} \) of a cup of flour is required to bake 6 muffins. Determine how many cups of flour are needed for one muffin: \[ \frac{3}{5} \text{ cups} \text{ per 6 muffins} = \frac{3/5}{6} = \frac{3}{30} = \frac{1}{10} \text{ cups per muffin} \]
- Next, calculate how many muffins can be made with 6.6 cups of flour: \[ \text{Muffins} = \frac{6.6 \text{ cups}}{\frac{1}{10} \text{ cups/muffin}} = 6.6 \times 10 = 66 \text{ muffins} \]
-
Conclusion:
- Bella will bake a total of 66 muffins for the 2 trays.
