The problem describes a baker who makes muffins in a consistent ratio of blueberry muffins to banana muffins each day. On Tuesday, the baker makes 96 blueberry muffins and 72 banana muffins, and on Wednesday, 36 blueberry muffins are made. The goal is to determine how many banana muffins the baker makes on Wednesday.

### Solution:

1. **Determine the ratio of blueberry muffins to banana muffins on Tuesday:**

   \[
   \text{Ratio on Tuesday} = \frac{96}{72} = \frac{4}{3}
   \]

   So, the ratio of blueberry muffins to banana muffins is 4:3.

2. **Use the same ratio for Wednesday:**

   Since the ratio remains constant, for every 4 blueberry muffins, 3 banana muffins are made.

   On Wednesday, the baker makes 36 blueberry muffins. To find the corresponding number of banana muffins:

   \[
   \frac{4}{3} = \frac{36}{x}
   \]

   Solve for \( x \):

   \[
   x = \frac{36 \times 3}{4} = 27
   \]

   Therefore, the baker makes **27 banana muffins** on Wednesday.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

1. If the baker made 120 blueberry muffins on Thursday, how many banana muffins would they make?
2. What would be the total number of muffins made on Wednesday?
3. How would the answer change if the baker altered the ratio to 5:3?
4. If on a different day the baker made 45 banana muffins, how many blueberry muffins would be made with the same ratio?
5. How could you check if the ratio is consistent over several days?

**Tip:** When dealing with ratios, always reduce them to their simplest form for easier calculations.

Each day, a baker makes the same ratio of blueberry muffins to banana muffins. On Tuesday, they make 96 blueberry muffins and 72 banana muffins. On Wednesday, they make 36 blueberry muffins. How many banana muffins does the baker make on Wednesday?
