Question

A pumpkin weighs 2323 pounds. Each pound can make 1 1/4 cups of pumpkin purée. A pumpkin pie recipe calls for 3/4 of purée per pie. How many pies can the 2323 pound pumpkin make?

Answer 1

I think the answer would be 8,518 pumpkin pies ( I would recommend getting a second opinion though )

to find out how many cups of pumpkin puree you have you need to multiply the 2,323 pounds of pumpkin times the amount of puree you can get from a pound.
That's 2,323 × (11÷4) = 2,323 × 2.75 = 6,388.25.
Then to find out how many pies you can make you need to divide the amount of puree you have by the amount required in a pie.
That's 6,388.25 ÷ ( 3÷4) = 6,388.25 ÷ 0.75 = 8,517.66666 ( there are way more sixes ).
You can't make .6 of a pie so you round it up.
You get 8,518.
I hope my answer helped and that it's right .
