Question

Chelsea uses 3 pounds of apples to make 4 cups. How many pounds of apple does she need to make 6 pints of applesauce

Answer 1

You need 9 pounds of apples to make 6 pints of applesauce. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Here, we know that 1 pint = 2 cups

Thus, 1 cup =
`(1 pints)/(2)`

3 ponds apples are needed for 4 cups i.e. 3 ponds of apples = 4 cups of applesauce

1 cup of applesauce =
`(3 ponds)/(4)`

Now, 6 pints will have 12 cups of applesauce

Multiplying this equation by 12 ⇒ 1 cup of applesauce =
`(3 ponds)/(4)`

12 ×1 cup of applesauce = 12 ×
`(3 ponds)/(4)`

So, 12 cups of applesauce = 9 ponds of apple.

Thus, 9 ponds of apple will be needed to make 6 pints of applesauce.
