Question

Mrs. Coote-Brown needed 1 gallon of sliced peaches to make peach pies for her family reunion. If each pie requires 4 cups of peaches, how many pies will Mrs. Coote-Brown be making?

Answer 1

Total number of pies make = 4

Explanation:

Given - Mrs. Coote-Brown needed 1 gallon of sliced peaches to make

peach pies for her family reunion.

To find - If each pie requires 4 cups of peaches, how many pies will

Mrs. Coote-Brown be making ?

Proof -

As we know 1 gallon = 16 cups.

Now given,

4 cups of peaches = 1 peach pie

⇒1 cup of peach =
`(1)/(4)` peach pie

⇒16 cups of peaches =
`(16)/(4)` peach pie

⇒1 gallon of peaches = 4 peach pie

∴ we get

Total number of pies make = 4
