A bag of white sugar and a bag of brown sugar each contain 11 1/3 cups of sugar. How Many muffins can Maria top if she has 1 bag of each type of sugar?Explain your reasoning。This is super urgent tahnks

Sagot :

Answer:

187

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction to make topping:

1/4 cups of white ; 2/3 cups of brown

Combined = 1/4 + 2/3 = (3 + 8) /12 = 11/12 cups

Fraction of combined used to top muffin = 1/12

Number of muffins that can be topped per combination made :

11/12 ÷ 1/12 ; 11 /12 * 12 / 1 = 11 muffins

Recall :

Each sugar has 11 1/3 cups

For brown sugar :

34 /3 ÷ 2/3 cups

34 /3 * 3 /2 = 17

For white sugar :

34 /3 * 4 /1 = 45.33

However, the highest amount of combined muffin topping for white sugar will be restricted by the number of brown :

Hence,

11 muffins can be topped from each combined mixture ;

Total muffin that can be topped :

17 * 11 = 187 muffins
