To make 1 1/2 dozen muffins, a recipe uses 3 1/2 cups of flour. how many cups of flour are needed for every dozen muffins made? enter your answer in the box as a mixed number in simplest form.

The answer would be 2 and 3/10. To find this, I multiplied 1 and 1/2 by 2 and 3 and 1/2 by two. So, now to make 3 dozen muffins, a recipe uses 7 cups of flour. I did this because obviously dividing 3 and 7 are easier and its hard to find how many cups of flour make 1 dozen when you have the equation for 1 and 1/2 because 1 doesn't go into 1 and 1/2 equally. Now, with the new equation, I can just divide 3 by 3 to get 1 (which would be 1 dozen muffins) and also divide 7 by 3 to get 2.3. 2 is obviously the whole number in the mixed number and .3 is the fraction, which is 3/10. Hope this helps!
