Question

The Yummy Bakery uses 900 grams of apples per cobbler. How many cobblers can be made with 10.5 pounds of apples?

Answer 1

Let's convert 900 grams into pounds first. Remember that 1 pound = 453. 592 grams.

`900g*(1lb)/(453.592g)=1.98lb`

1 cobbler = 900 grams of apples = 1.98lb

Since 1.98lb makes one cobbler, let's divide 10.5lb by 1.98lb to determine the number of cobblers that can be made.

`10.5lb*(1cobbler)/(1.98lb)=5.29cobblers`

Therefore, 10.5 pounds of apples make approximately 5.29 cobblers.
