D.
b ÷ 12 ÷ 3 = 96

Respuesta :

Answer:

b × 12 ÷ 3 = 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Dalton made b batches of a dozen muffins.

Therefore, the number of total muffins is b × 12.

Now, he divides the muffins into 3 equal cans.

Therefore, in each can there is b × 12 ÷ 3 muffins.

Given that he has 96 muffins in each can.

Therefore, b × 12 ÷ 3 = 96 and this is the equation to find the number of batches of dozen muffins that Dalton baked. (Answer)
