Question

Joel is baking muffins for his bakery. He has 3 1/2 cups of flour, 2 1/4 cups of sugar, and 1 3/4 cups of milk. If he wants to make 6 muffins, how much of each ingredient will he need for each muffin?

Answer 1

To find the amount of each ingredient needed for each muffin, divide the amount of each ingredient by the number of muffins.
For flour: 3 1/2 cups / 6 muffins = 1/2 cup of flour per muffin
For sugar: 2 1/4 cups / 6 muffins = 3/8 cup of sugar per muffin
For milk: 1 3/4 cups / 6 muffins = 5/12 cup of milk per muffin
