Answer 1

To find the number of dozens of muffins Garnet can make, divide the total amount of flour she has (11 1/2 cups) by the amount of flour needed to make one dozen muffins (2 1/2 cups).

11 1/2 ÷ 2 1/2 = <<(11+1/2)/(2+1/2)=4>>4.

Therefore, Garnet can make 4 dozens of muffins with the flour she has. Answer: \boxed{4}.
