At a bakery, a baker prepares 6 dozen blueberry muffins for every 5 dozen apple muffins. If the baker prepares 16 dozen blueberry muffins, how many dozen apple muffins will he prepare? Can you please explain how to do this.

13 apple muffins dozensStep-by-step explanation:I would write a proportion, I can't use a fraction bar so they will just be on top of each other: Blueberry Muffins    6 Apple Muffins          5 For every 6 Blueberry muffins there are 5 apple muffins (dozens) So when he makes 16 blueberry muffins (dozens) You write it next to the '6' because it's talking about blueberry muffin dozens. The proportion now: Blueberry Muffins  6   16 Apple Muffins        5    x To find x, or the number of apple muffin dozens, you multiply 16 * 5, which is 80. Then divide by 6. 80/6= 13.333 You can't have .333 of a dozen, so round it to 13. ***ANSWER***  He prepared 13 Apple muffin dozens. Hope this helped <3
