You divide 475 by 1000 because you need to distribute 475 apples to 1000 tarts... Answer is 0.475 pounds of apples in each tart

Hi there sny853 the answer would be 0.475

475 pounds divided by 1000 tarts is equal to 0.475 pounds per tart.

<span>475 lbs/1000 tarts = </span>0.475 lbs/tart

So, if you are to bake a certain number of tarts and need to know the total number of pounds of apple needed to bake you can use this equation.

y = 0.475x

<span>where y represents the total number of pounds needed to bake x number of tarts with a fixed 0.475 pounds per tart. i hope it helps have a nice day =)
