A recipe that makes eight Jamberma muffins calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder how much baking powder is needed to make three dozen muffins

If you would like to know how much baking powder is needed to make three dozen muffins, you can calculate this using the following steps:

8 Jamberma muffins ... 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

3 dozen muffins = 3 * 12 = 36 muffins ... x teaspoons of baking powder = ?

8 * x = 1 1/2 * 36

8 * x = 3/2 * 36

8 * x = 54

x = 54 / 8

x = 27 / 4 = 6 3/4 teaspoons

The correct result would be 6 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder.

8 / (1 1/2) = 36/x ... 8 muffins to 1 1/2 tsp = 36 (3 doz) muffins to x tsp

this is a proportion, so we cross multiply

(8) (x) = (1 1/2) (36)

8x = 3/2 * 36

8x = 108/2

8x = 54

x = 54/8

x = 6 3/4 < = = = 6 3/4 tsps are needed to make 3 doz muffins
