Jamie is explaining to her classmates that she conducted an experiment over the weekend to see if adding more eggs to a cupcake recipe would affect the taste and texture of her cupcakes. she told her classmates that she noticed her cupcakes were moister and even taller. she said she measured each cupcake and the ones made with 3 eggs instead of two were 0.25-.05 centimeters taller than the ones with only 2 eggs. she also said that the ones with more eggs seemed to be a darker shade than the ones with fewer eggs. jamie said the amount of eggs didn’t affect how many cupcakes she could make. she was only able to get 6 jumbo sized cupcakes with the recipe even if she added an extra egg. question: list at least 2 qualitative and 2 quantitative observations that jamie made in her experiment.

1. The cakes made with 3 eggs were 0.25 to 0.5 cm taller as compared to the ones made 2 eggs.
