A <strong>ratio<\/strong> is a way to compare two quantities. In this case, we are comparing the number of <strong>blueberry muffins<\/strong> to the <strong>total number of muffins<\/strong> that Jamal baked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamal made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>12 corn muffins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15 blueberry muffins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Find the total number of muffins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do this by adding the number of corn muffins and blueberry muffins together: Total&nbsp;muffins=12+15=27\\text{Total muffins} = 12 + 15 = 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Write the ratio of blueberry muffins to total muffins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question asks for the <strong>ratio of blueberry muffins to all muffins<\/strong>, so we place the number of blueberry muffins in the numerator and the total number in the denominator: Ratio=1527\\text{Ratio} = \\frac{15}{27}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Simplify the ratio.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can simplify this ratio by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their <strong>greatest common factor (GCF)<\/strong>. The GCF of 15 and 27 is 3. 15\u00f7327\u00f73=59\\frac{15 \\div 3}{27 \\div 3} = \\frac{5}{9}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the simplified ratio is: 59\\boxed{\\frac{5}{9}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that out of every 9 muffins Jamal baked, 5 are blueberry muffins. Understanding this ratio helps in dividing or planning quantities for events like bake sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus: The product of fifty-two and a number cc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To express &#8220;the product of fifty-two and a number cc&#8221;, we simply write: 52\u00d7cor52c52 \\times c \\quad \\text{or} \\quad 52c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a mathematical expression showing multiplication between 52 and the variable cc, where cc can represent any number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamal baked muffins for the school bake sale.
