As a special treat, Georgia makes muffins and brings them to her students on the first day of every month. Her muffin recipe only makes 6 muffins and she has 24 students. How many batches of muffins does Georgia make in 9 months?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
She has 24 students and her muffin recipe only makes 6 muffins so she needs to bake 24 / 6 = 4 batches of muffins. She brings muffins on the 1st of the month for 9 months and it takes 4 batches to feed all of her students so she bakes 9 * 4 = 36 batches of muffins.
Thus, the answer is 36.
