Question :

Lela is making peach pies. She uses 9 peaches for each pie. If she uses 18 peaches for 2 pies and 36 peaches for 4 pies, how many peaches will she need for 7 pies?

  • A. 45
  • B. 54
  • C. 63
  • D. 70

Answer :

  • C. 63

Explanation :

As, Lela is using 9 peaches for each pie.

Thus, she used 18 peaches for 2 pies, which is 2 times 9 and 36 peaches for 4 pies, which is 4 times 9. Therefore, to make 7 pies, she would need :

Peaches used for one pie = 9

=> Peaches used for 7 pies = 9 Ă— 7

=> Peaches needed for 7 pies = 63

Hence, she will need 63 peaches to make 7 pies.
