a muffin recipe calls for 4 cups of sugar and yields 36 muffins. if amelia only wants to make 24 muffins, how much sugar will she need?
24/36 = 2/3
(2/3)4 = 8/3 or 2 2/3
the ans is hw sux go play video games
why do you always mind this person's business ms.sue?
yes, ok 24/9 = 8/3 same answer
hey shoto, how’s your dad
I also thought the same as the person who did 36/4=9 and 24/9 would give me the answer. I wasn't sure either but it's the same answer either way.
To find out how much sugar Amelia will need to make 24 muffins instead of the original 36, we can set up a proportion.
Since the amount of sugar needed is directly proportional to the number of muffins, we can write the proportion as follows:
"4 cups of sugar is to 36 muffins as X cups of sugar is to 24 muffins."
Using this proportion, we can set up the equation:
4 cups / 36 muffins = X cups / 24 muffins
To solve for X, we can cross-multiply:
4 cups * 24 muffins = X cups * 36 muffins
96 cups = 36X
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 36:
96 cups / 36 = X
Simplifying the expression:
2.6667 cups ≈ X
Therefore, Amelia will need approximately 2.67 cups of sugar to make 24 muffins.
If a student keeps asking similar questions the student needs to look at earlier replies and try to do the next one without help Jack. We can then check the answer but just telling the student how to do it time after time helps not in the least.
i thought of it like this: 36 divided by 4 is 9, so if i divided 24 by 9, i might get the answer. but i wasn't sure, so i asked.
Since this is the eighth (or ninth) question you've asked this afternoon, it's your turn now.
How do you think you should solve this question?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
