Approximately 5 and a half cup of muffin mix is required for 7 pounds of blueberries.
Explanation:
Given:
Blueberry muffin mix recipe:
3 1/4 pounds of blueberries = 13/4
2 1/2 cups of muffin mix = 5/2
7 pounds of blueberries to be used
cups of muffin mix = ?
If 13/4 pounds of blueberries require 5/2 cups of muffin mix
Then, 7 cups of blueberries would require = [tex]\frac{5}{2} X \frac{4}{13} X 7[/tex] cups of muffin mix
On solving the equation we get:
[tex]= \frac{5}{2} X \frac{4}{13} X 7\\ \\= 5.38[/tex]
Therefore, approximately 5 and a half cup of muffin mix is required for 7 pounds of blueberries.
