yeilds 36 muffins
wants 12 muffins
ratio and proportion
if we need x of an ingredient to make 36 muffins, we will need y of that ingredient to make 12 muffins
x:36=y:12
x/36=y/12
we know x and want to find y
solve for y
multiply both sides by 12
12x/36=y
x/3=y
(1/3)x=y
we multiply each ingredient by 1/3
it helps to convert each quantity to a/b form first
