a Baker wants to put 3 3/4 pounds of apples in each pie she makes she purchased 52 1/2 pounds of apples how many pies can she make
Answer:
She can make 14 apple pies.
Step-by-step explanation:
A baker wants to put \(3\frac{3}{4}\) pounds or \(\frac{15}{4}\) pounds of apples in each pie she makes.
She purchased \(52\frac{1}{2}\) pounds or \(\frac{105}{4}\) pounds of apples.
Let she can make x number of apple pies.
So the apples she can put = \(\frac{15}{4}\times x\) pounds
Now the equation to get the value of x will be
\(\frac{15}{4}\times x\) = \(\frac{105}{2}\)
x = \(\frac{105}{2}\times \frac{4}{15}\)
x = \(\frac{420}{30}\)
= 14
Therefore, she can make 14 apple pies.
