A recipe for blueberry muffins states that it yields 12 muffins, with 370 calories per muffin. You instead decide to make mini-muffins, and the recipe yields 19 muffins. If you eat 3, how many calories will you consume? Round your answer to the nearest whole calorie.


To find out how many calories you will consume, we need to first calculate the number of calories per mini-muffin.

1. The original recipe makes 12 regular muffins, with each muffin containing 370 calories.
   
   Total calories for the whole recipe:
   \[
   370 \times 12 = 4440 \, \text{calories}
   \]

2. Now, you are making 19 mini-muffins instead of 12 regular muffins. The total calories for the entire batch remains the same (4440 calories), but it is spread over 19 mini-muffins.

   Calories per mini-muffin:
   \[
   \frac{4440}{19} \approx 233.68 \, \text{calories per mini-muffin}
   \]

3. If you eat 3 mini-muffins, the total calories consumed will be:
   \[
   233.68 \times 3 = 701.04
   \]

4. Rounding to the nearest whole number:
   \[
   701 \, \text{calories}
   \]

Therefore, if you eat 3 mini-muffins, you will consume **701 calories**.

Here are some related questions to explore:
1. How many calories would you consume if you ate 5 mini-muffins?
2. What is the difference in calories between eating 2 regular muffins and 4 mini-muffins?
3. How would the calorie count change if the recipe were altered to make 24 muffins?
4. If the recipe was doubled and you ate 6 mini-muffins, how many calories would that be?
5. What is the percentage reduction in calories per muffin when switching from regular to mini-muffins?

**Tip:** When scaling recipes, the total calories remain the same as long as the ingredients don't change.
