Answer:
42 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Crazy Al is making apple pie. His recipe calls for 6 apples to every 1/4 cup of sugar. He want to use up all his sugar to make his pie. He has 1 3/4 cups of sugar, how many apples does he need to make his pie?
From the question, we know that:
1/4 cup of sugar = 6 apples
1 3/4 cups of sugar = x
Cross Multiply
1/4 × x = 1 3/4 × 6
x = 1 3/4 × 6/1/4
x = 7/4 × 6/ 1/4
x = 42/4 ÷ 1/4
x = 42/4 × 4/1
x = 42 apples
