If 3/8 of a cup of milk makes 6 muffins , how many muffins does 1 cup of milk make
(3/8)/6 = 1/x
(3/8)x = 6
x = 6 / (3/8)
x = 6 * (8/3)
x = 48/3 = 16
To solve this problem, we need to determine the ratio between the amount of milk and the number of muffins.
Given that 3/8 of a cup of milk makes 6 muffins, we can set up the following proportion:
(3/8) cup of milk = 6 muffins
To find out how many muffins 1 cup of milk will make, we can set up a new proportion:
(1 cup of milk) / x muffins = (3/8) cup of milk / 6 muffins
Now, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
(1 cup of milk) * 6 muffins = (3/8) cup of milk * x muffins
6 cups of milk = (3/8) cup of milk * x muffins
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by (3/8) cup of milk:
6 cups of milk / (3/8) cup of milk = x muffins
Now, let's simplify the left side of the equation:
(6 * 8) / 3 = x muffins
48 / 3 = x muffins
16 = x muffins
Therefore, 1 cup of milk will make 16 muffins.
