A muffin recipe, which yields 12 muffins, calls for 2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour. The same recipe calls for 3/4 cup of coconut for every cup of chopped apple.

If all ingredients in this recipe are changed proportionately, how many muffins should you yield from a batch that contains 1 1/8 cups of chopped apple? how many muffins can you make

Answer :

From the recipe, we can see that for every cup of chopped apple there would be a yield of 12 muffins, therefore the ratio is 12 muffins: 1 cup of chopped apple. If there is [tex]1 \frac{1}{8} [/tex], we just need to remember that [tex] \frac{12}{1} = \frac{x}{ 1\frac{1}{8} } [/tex], therefore the yield for the new amount of chopped apples would be, 13.5 muffins
