Question

Jennifer makes 13 apple pies using 338 apples. Mateo used 9 apple pies using 216 apples. If they each have 105 apples, will Mateo And Jennifer make the same amount of apple pies ?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes. They'll both make 4 apple pies.

Explanation:

Jennifer makes 13 apple pies using 338 apples. The fraction of apple pies made based on the number of apples will be:

= 13 / 338

= 0.03485

Mateo used 9 apple pies using 216 apples. The fraction of apple pies made based on the number of apples will be:

= 9 / 216

= 0.0417

When they each have 105 apples, the number of apple pies that Mateo will make will be:

= 0.03485 × 105

= 3.65925

= 4 apple pie approximately

Jennifer will make:

= 0.0417 × 105

= 4.3785

= 4 apple pie approximately
