A muffin recipe calls for two eggs to make 12 muffins if you want to make 36 muffins, what should you do?
To make 36 muffins instead of 12 muffins, you will need to adjust the quantity of ingredients, including the number of eggs.
If you require 2 eggs for 12 muffins, you can calculate the ratio and use it to modify the recipe.
Ratio of eggs to muffins: 2 eggs / 12 muffins
To find the quantity of eggs needed for 36 muffins, you can set up a proportion:
2 eggs / 12 muffins = x eggs / 36 muffins
Cross-multiplying, we obtain:
12 * x = 2 * 36
Simplifying:
12x = 72
Dividing both sides by 12:
x = 6
Therefore, you will need 6 eggs to make 36 muffins (instead of 2 eggs for 12 muffins).
