Answer:

5.94Ib(pounds)

Explanation:

You need 3 cups per pie, so 4 pies would be 3 multiplied by 4 giving us 12

A cup weighs 225g and we need 12 so 225 multiplied by 12 which would give us 2700

Firstly convert to kilograms which would be 2700÷1000=2.7

Now if 2.2Ib=1kg

Then XIb=2.7kg

Criss multiply:xIb=2.2×2.7

=5.94

Answer: 4 x 3 = 12 so 12 cups of cherries and 12 x 225 = 2700 grams and around 454 grams are in each pound that mean 5.95.9525 pounds of cherries
