Question

Elise picks 6 pounds of apples.She uses 1/2 pounds to make 1 container of apple sauce. How many containers of applesauce can Elise make with all apples?

Answer 1

12 Containers

Explanation:

given it takes 1/2 a pound to make one container, we can deduce:

1 pound makes 2 containers

2 pounds makes 4 containers

thus the amount of containers is equal to 2x (x being pounds of apples picked)

so

2(6)=12
