Answer:

10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Alice hall makes an apple cake (serves 6) for her family

Apples=\(2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\)pounds

Flour=\(2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}\) cups

Margarine=\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups

Sugar=\(1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}\) cups

Eggs=4

For 6 persons , apples required =\(\frac{5}{2}\) pounds

For 24 persons=\(\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{6}\times 24\)

For 24 persons=\(\frac{5}{12}\times 24=10\) pounds

Hence, she should use 10 pounds of apples.
