Jamal baked muffins for the school bake sale. He made 12 corn muffins and 15 blueberry muffins. What is the ratio of blueberry muffins to all muffins. A) 5:9 B) 5:4 C) 4:9 D) 4:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answer: B) 5:4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To find the ratio of blueberry muffins to all muffins<\/strong>, we need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Determine the number of blueberry muffins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Determine the total number of all muffins (corn + blueberry)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Write the ratio of blueberry muffins to all muffins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Simplify the ratio if possible<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Count the Blueberry Muffins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jamal made 15 blueberry muffins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Find the Total Number of Muffins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 12 corn muffins<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 15 blueberry muffins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      So, total muffins = 12 (corn) + 15 (blueberry) = 27 muffins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Write the Ratio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We are asked for the ratio of blueberry muffins to all muffins<\/strong>, so this is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Blueberry : Total = 15 : 27<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Step 4: Simplify the Ratio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To simplify, divide both parts by their greatest common divisor (GCD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The GCD of 15 and 27 is 3<\/strong>.153=5,273=9\\frac{15}{3} = 5,\\quad \\frac{27}{3} = 9315\u200b=5,327\u200b=9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So the simplified ratio is: 5:9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But this doesn’t match any of the options given for blueberry to all muffins<\/strong>. Wait \u2014 let’s double-check the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The options are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A) 5:9
      B) 5:4
      C) 4:9
      D) 4:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It seems there\u2019s a misalignment between the options and the problem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Blueberry to Total<\/strong> is 15:27<\/strong>, simplified to 5:9<\/strong> \u2014 which matches option A<\/strong>, not B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, the correct answer is A) 5:9<\/strong>, not B as originally stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Let me revise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      \u2705 Correct Answer: A) 5:9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The ratio of 15 blueberry muffins to a total of 27 muffins simplifies to 5:9<\/strong>. This means for every 9 muffins at the sale, 5 are blueberry. Ratios help us understand part-to-whole relationships, and in this case, blueberry muffins make up a little more than half of the total (since 5 out of 9 is slightly more than 50%). This kind of proportional thinking is common in real-world contexts, such as baking, budgeting, and planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
