Question

My pumpkin pie recipe (which is listed at the end of this post) is really good. If you want to make my pumpkin pie you will need 1 ¾ cups of pumpkin puree. How many pies would the 2,528- pound pumpkin be able to make?

Answer 1

752 pies will be made form the 2,528 pound pumpkin

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of pies that will be made from the given number of purée

Firstly, we need to know the number of cups in 2,528-pound pumpkin purée

Mathematically, 1 pound = 1.92 cups

So , 2528 pound will be 2,528/1.92 = 1,316.67 cups

1 3/4 cups is needed to make a pie

So the number of pies that 1,316.67 cups will

make would be;

1316.67 divided by 1 3/4

= 1316.67/1.75 = 752 approximately
