Question

The store is selling lemons at $0.72 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

Answer 1

$5.76

Explanation:

There are 16 US tablespoons inside a cup.

Since there are 2 pies, each needing 1/2 a cup, we can just class this as a full cup, as it is equivalent.

Since each lemon yields 2 tablespoons, we can do the following equation:

16/2=8

This gives us 8 lemons.

8 x 0.72 = 5.76

Therefore, this should cost $5.76

Hope this helps :D
