Question

It takes approximately 4 medium apples to make 3 servings of homemade

apple sauce. The cafeteria purchased a bushel of apples (approximately 126
medium apples) at a discount. How many whole servings of applesauce can they
make with the bushel? (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

Answer: 95 servings of applesauce

Explanation:

It takes approximately 4 medium apples to make 3 servings of homemade apple sauce. It means that the number of servings of homemade apple sauce that can be made from 1 medium apple is

3/4 = 0.75 servings

Approximately 126 medium apples were purchased. Therefore, the number of servings of applesauce that they can make with the bushel is

126 × 0.75 = 95 servings of applesauce rounded to the nearest whole number.
