1. **Problem b:** Elena has 75 pounds. How many foam fingers can she buy if each costs 10 pounds? 2. To find the number of foam fingers Elena can buy, divide her total money by the cost per foam finger: $$\text{Number of foam fingers} = \frac{75}{10} = 7.5$$ 3. Since she cannot buy half a foam finger, Elena can buy 7 foam fingers. 4. **Problem a:** Abdul wants to make 20 muffins. How much sugar does he need? 5. The recipe for 6 muffins requires 60 g of sugar. 6. To find the sugar needed for 20 muffins, use a ratio: $$\text{Sugar for 20 muffins} = 60 \times \frac{20}{6} = 60 \times \frac{10}{3} = 200 \text{ g}$$ 7. **Problem b:** Abdul has 9 eggs. How many muffins can he make? 8. The recipe uses 2 eggs for 6 muffins. 9. Number of muffins per egg: $$\frac{6}{2} = 3 \text{ muffins per egg}$$ 10. With 9 eggs, Abdul can make: $$9 \times 3 = 27 \text{ muffins}$$ 11. **Problem c:** Abdul has 58 g of cabbage. How many muffins can he make? 12. The recipe uses 66 g cabbage for 6 muffins. 13. Number of muffins per gram of cabbage: $$\frac{6}{66} = \frac{1}{11} \text{ muffins per gram}$$ 14. With 58 g cabbage, Abdul can make: $$58 \times \frac{1}{11} = \frac{58}{11} \approx 5.27 \text{ muffins}$$ 15. Since he cannot make a fraction of a muffin, Abdul can make 5 muffins with 58 g cabbage.
