Lashonda found a recipe that makes 2 1/2 dozen cupcakes and requires 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. If she makes 90 cupcakes for a family reunion picnic, how much vegetable oil will she need?

Answer 1

How many dozen are in 90? How will you find out?

Once you find that number, then multiply by 0.25 cup (1/4 cup), and see what happens.

Let us know.

Answer 2

Sorry for not responding, I think I have to divide 12 into 90 which would give 7.5...7.5 x 0.25= 1.875. Now what /Writeteacher?

Answer 3

. . . you there?

Answer 4

2.5 dozen = 28

.25/28 = x/90

To find x, multiply both sides by 90 and then divide by 28.
