How to triple the quantity of ingredients in order to make 12 standard sized muffins? I found an interesting recipe and I would like to triple it in order to make 12 standard sized muffins.

These are the ingredients and based on this recipe, it makes 4 muffins.


  1/4 cup butter
  1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  1 egg
  1/4 cup sugar
  1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  1/4 cup chopped pecans


How can I triple the recipe and make twelve standard-sized muffins?r
Triple means "three time". Multiply all the ingredients by 3.

To double a recipe you would multiply everything by two.

To halve a recipe you would divide all ingredients by two.

(and so on)
