Explanation:

Answer 2

112 apples.

Explanation:

We have been given that Luanne uses 35 pounds of apples each day in her juice-making business. Each apple weighs 5 ounces. We are asked to find the number of apples used by Luanne each day.

First of all, we will convert the weight of apples from pounds to ounces by multiplying 35 by 16 as 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

`\text{Weight of apples in oz}=35\text{ Pounds}* \frac{16\text{ oz}}{\text{1 Pound}}`

`\text{Weight of apples in oz}=35* 16\text{ oz}`

`\text{Weight of apples in oz}=560\text{ oz}`

Now, we will divide weight of all apples by weight of each apple to find number of apples as:

`\text{Apples used by Luanne to make juice}=(560)/(5)`

`\text{Apples used by Luanne to make juice}=112`

Therefore, Luanne used 112 apples to make the juice.
