Question

According to Greg, the perfect cherry pies have a ratio of 240 cherries to 3 pies. How many cherries does Greg need to make 9 perfect cherry pies?

Answer 1

720 cherries

Explanation:

3 pies need 240 cherries so the equation would be:

3c = 240

so, c = 80

But, he needs to make 9 "perfect" pies so you make the equation:

9c = 80*9

9c = 720

So Greg needs 720 cherries to make 9 perfect cherry pies.
