Question

Chelsea uses 3 pounds of apples to make 4 cups. How many pounds of apple does she need to make 6 pints of applesauce

Answer 1

Here, we know that 1 pint = 2 cups

Thus, 1 cup = $\frac{1 pints}{2}$

3 ponds apples are needed for 4 cups i.e. 3 ponds of apples = 4 cups of applesauce

1 cup of applesauce = $\frac{3 ponds}{4}$

Now, 6 pints will have 12 cups of applesauce

Multiplying this equation by 12 ⇒ 1 cup of applesauce = $\frac{3 ponds}{4}$

12 ×1 cup of applesauce = 12 × $\frac{3 ponds}{4}$

So, 12 cups of applesauce = 9 ponds of apple.

Thus, 9 ponds of apple will be needed to make 6 pints of applesauce.

Answer 2

You need 9 pounds of apples to make 6 pints of applesauce. Hope this helped!
