Answer:
x = 4[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] teaspoons of baking powder
Step-by-step explanation:
I will use ratio, so for every 10 muffins we need 1[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] teaspoons of baking powder. How much would we need for 3 dozens or 36 muffins?
Set up the ratio in fractions
[tex]\frac{10}{\frac{5}{4}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{x}[/tex]; where x is the teaspoons of baking powder
solve for x
x =(36*[tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]) / 10
x = (45)/10 = 4[tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] = 4[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] teaspoons of baking powder
