Step-by-step explanation:

Crazy Al is making apple pie. His recipe calls for 6 apples to every 1/4 cup of sugar. He want to use up all his sugar to make his pie. He has 1 3/4 cups of sugar, how many apples does he need to make his pie?

From the question, we know that:

1/4 cup of sugar = 6 apples

1 3/4 cups of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

1/4 × x = 1 3/4 × 6

x = 1 3/4 × 6/1/4

x = 7/4 × 6/ 1/4

x = 42/4 ÷ 1/4

x = 42/4 × 4/1

x = 42 apples
