Here are the solutions to your questions:

3.1.4
The baking time for a dozen muffins is not provided in the given information or the previous context. Therefore, it is not possible to calculate the actual baking time.

3.1.5
The baking temperature in Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is not provided in the given information. Therefore, it is not possible to convert it to Degrees Celsius (°C).

3.1.6

Determine the number of recipes needed for 300 muffins.
One recipe makes 12 muffins.
$\text{Number of recipes} = \frac{300 \text{ muffins}}{12 \text{ muffins/recipe}} = 25 \text{ recipes}$
Calculate the total plain flour needed in cups.
From previous context, one recipe requires $\frac{3}{2}$ cups of plain flour.
$\text{Total flour in cups} = 25 \text{ recipes} \times \frac{3}{2} \text{ cups/recipe}$ $\text{Total flour in cups} = \frac{75}{2} \text{ cups} = 37.5 \text{ cups}$
Convert the total flour from cups to milliliters.
From previous context, $1 \text{ cup} = 250 \text{ ml}$ .
$\text{Total flour in ml} = 37.5 \text{ cups} \times 250 \text{ ml/cup}$ $\text{Total flour in ml} = 9375 \text{ ml}$
Convert the total flour from milliliters to kilograms.
We use the approximate density of plain flour, which is $0.57 \text{ g/ml}$ .
First, convert to grams:
$\text{Total flour in grams} = 9375 \text{ ml} \times 0.57 \text{ g/ml}$ $\text{Total flour in grams} = 5343.75 \text{ g}$
Now, convert to kilograms:
$\text{Total flour in kg} = \frac{5343.75 \text{ g}}{1000 \text{ g/kg}}$ $\text{Total flour in kg} = 5.34375 \text{ kg}$
Verify Mrs Wulu's claim.
Mrs Wulu claims that $10 \text{ kg}$ of plain flour will be enough.
We calculated that $5.34375 \text{ kg}$ of plain flour is needed.
Since $5.34375 \text{ kg} < 10 \text{ kg}$ , her claim is VALID.
