Question

The store is selling lemons at $0.64 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

Answer 1

$5.12
Each pie requires 1/2 a cup of lemon juice, you make 2 pies so you need a cup of lemon juice. There are 16 tbsp to a cup, each lemon has 2 tbsps of juice, so you’ll need 8 lemons. Each lemon cost $0.64
8*0.64= $5.12
