A recipe for 15 corn muffins calls for 1 cup of flour. Hence 40 corn muffins can be made.
Solution:
Given, A recipe for 15 corn muffins calls for 1 cup of flour.
The number of muffins you can make varies directly with the amount of flour you use.
There are [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of flour.
We have to find how many muffins can be made?
Now, according to the given information,
1 cup flour ⇒ 15 muffins
Then, [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups ⇒ “n” muffins
Now, by chris cross method,
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{1 \times n=15 \times 2 \frac{2}{3}} \\\\ {n=15 \times \frac{3 \times 2+2}{3}} \\\\ {n=15 \times \frac{6+2}{3}} \\\\ {n=15 \times \frac{8}{3}} \\\\ {n=5 \times 8=40}\end{array}[/tex]
Hence, 40 corn muffins can be made.
