Answer:

96 lb

Explanation:

48/2 = 24

48 is 24 times 2, so to make 48 pies you need 24 times as many pounds of apples as to make 2 apple pies.

24 * 4 lb = 96 lb

You can also solve this problem using a proportion.

2 it to 4 as 48 is to x

2/4 = 48/x

2x = 4 * 48

x = 2 * 48

x = 96

Answer: 96 lb
