Question

The store is selling lemons at $0.66 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?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of juice required = 3 × $\frac{1}{2}$ cup

                                          = 1.5 cup

                                          = 24 tablespoons

2 tablespoons = $0.66

24 tablespoons = $\frac{24}{2}$ × $0.66

                          = $7.92

Answer 2

Answer:

$7.92

Step-by-step explanation:

1 lemon = 2 tbsp = $0.66

1 pie = 1/2 cup

So take 3 x 1/2 = 1 1/2 cups. Now we know that we need 1 1/2 cups of lemon juice. So convert 1 1/2 cups into tbsp and you get 24 tbsp. Now since 1 lemon is equal to 2 tbsp divide the 24 tbsp by 2 and you get 12. This 12 represents the amount of lemons you need to buy. Since 1 lemon is $0.66 take that and multiply it by the amount of lemons you need (12x0.66) now you get $7.92.

You need $7.92 to but 12 lemons to make three 9 inch lemon pies.

I hope this helped :)
