Step 1
Given data:
The numbers of poppy seed muffins in 6 muffins are 3.
The expression for the numbers of poppy seed muffins in 6 muffins is,
6 muffins=3pooppy seed muffins
1 muffins=36pooppy seed muffins
=12pooppy seed muffins
Step 2
Multiply the above expression by 16 on both sides.
16(1 muffins)=16(12pooppy seed muffins)
16 muffins=8pooppy seed muffins
Thus, the numbers of poppy seed muffins in 16 muffins are 8.
