Answer:
1.5 pounds of apples are in each pie
Explanation:
to show our work, lets multiply 1.5 by 2.
(this is the distributive property. the method shown in the image is long multiplication, but they follow the same idea)
for the sake of simplicity, we will write 1.5 as 15.
5×2=10
10×2=20
10+20=30
dont forget the decimal point! since we have one digit in the decimal place, we move the decimal behind one digit in 30.
30.0 --> 3.0 or simply, 3.
this proves that there are 1.5 pounds of apples in each pie. hope this goes more in depth !!! :)
