Question

It takes 4 pounds of apples to make 6 cups of applesauce. At this rate, how much applesauce can you make with 7 pounds of apples?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 1/2 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 pounds of apples make 6 cups apple sauce.

So  1 pound apples makes 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

7 pounds will make 1 1/2 * 7

= 10 1/2 cups sauce.

Answer 2

Answer:

About 6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation

1. I started by dividing 4 pounds by 6 because we need to know how much cups we can make out of 1 pounds of apples.

4 divided by 6 = 0.66666666

2. Then you multiply that by 3 because 4+3 = 7

0.66666666 x 3= 1.9999999

3. then you add 1.9999999 into the 4 and we get 5.999999999
