Leon Callahan · Answer 2

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the number of eggs required for original recipe = 3

But since the number of people coming to the meeting has doubled!, so the ingredients for the original recipe will be doubled.

That means the number of eggs will be needed to make twice as many muffins = 2 x (number of eggs required for original recipe)

= 2 x 3 = 6

Hence, the number of eggs will be needed to make twice as many muffins = 6.
