Final answer:

Betty used a total amount of honey equal to 4 times the ounces of honey needed for one apple pie plus 17.6 ounces of honey for the pecan pies. The exact total amount of honey used cannot be determined without knowing the amount of honey (x) used in an apple pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how much honey Betty used to bake apple and pecan pies. First we need to determine the amount of honey required per pie and then add the total amounts for each type of pie. Let's say it takes x ounces of honey to make one apple pie. Since Betty baked 4 apple pies, she would use 4x ounces of honey for the apple pies. For the pecan pies, each requires 4.4 ounces of honey, so for 4 pecan pies she would use 4 × 4.4 ounces which equals 17.6 ounces of honey.

To find the total honey used, add the honey used for apple pies and pecan pies: 4x + 17.6 ounces. Without the specific amount of honey for the apple pies (x), we cannot calculate the exact total amount of honey used.
