Answer 1

90 apples

Explanation:

1st class did 1/3, 1/3 of 60 is 20, 60-20 is 40, 40 into 2.25 or 2 1/4 = 90 because 40 x 2 = 80 and 1/4 of 40 is 10, 10+80 = 90, so the second class needs 90 apples

Answer 2

90 apples

Explanation:

First, we need to find 1/3 of the total number of pies, which is the number of pies the first class made. To do this, we divide 60 by 3 (or multiply 60 by 1/3):

60 ÷ 3 = 20

This means the first class made 20 pies and that the second class has to make 40 pies (60 - 20 = 40)

1 pie needs 2 1/4 apples

To find how many apples the second class will need, we must multiply 40 (the number of pies) • 2 1/4 (the number of apples needed for 1 pie)

40 • 2 1/4 = 90

This means 90 apples are needed for the second class to make the remaining pies
