Answer: 11 muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Maria mixes 1/4 cup white sugar with 2/3 cup brown sugar, this will give us a mixture of:
= 1/4 + 2/3
= 3/12 + 8/12
= 11/12
Ww are then told that she uses 1/12 cup of the mixture to top each muffin. Therefore, the number of muffins that she can top will be:
= 11/12 ÷ 1/12
= 11/12 × 12/1
= 12
She can top 11 muffins.
