Answer 1

Answer:

$6.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make three  9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

1 cup = 16 table spoon of juice

half a cup =  8 table spoon of juice

1 pie require half a cup of lemon juice. so 1 pie requires 8 tablespoon of lemon juice

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice

2 times 4 = 8

So 4 lemon needed to make a pie

cost of 1 lemon = 0.56

cost of 4 lemons = $0.56 \cdot 4=2.24$

cost of lemon for making 3 pie= $3 \cdot 2.24=6.72$
