Apple Cinnamon Muffins recipe needs one and a half cups of flour, three-fourths cup of white sugar, two teaspoons baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt, one and three-eighths teaspoons cinnamon, three-fourths teaspoon nutmeg, one-fourth cup vegetable oil, three-eighths cup milk, one and quarter cups chopped apples and one egg.
Maria puts some of the chopped apples in a bowl. She leaves out 1/2
cup of the apples to use later in the recipe. Next, she adds all of the oil.
What is the total amount of the apples and oil in the bowl?
1 answer
The recipe calls for 1 and 1/4 cups of chopped apples, which is equivalent to 1.25 cups. Since Maria leaves out 1/2 cup of the apples to use later, she puts in:
1.25 cups - 0.5 cups = 0.75 cups of chopped apples in the bowl.
Next, she adds 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to the bowl.
Now, to find the total amount of apples and oil in the bowl, we add the amounts together:
0.75 cups (chopped apples) + 0.25 cups (oil) = 1 cup.
So, the total amount of apples and oil in the bowl is 1 cup.
