Question

The local bakers are making apple pies.
They have 15 boxes
Each box has 18 apples
They use 7 apples for each pie
What is the total number of apple pies that the bakers can make? Show your work

Answer 1

Well, 18 apples per box, and you have 15 boxes, multiplying the two numbers lets you know there are 270 apples total.
(18 • 15 = 270)
Then, divide the number of apples by how many you need per pie.
(270 / 7 = 38.57)
So the bakers would be able to make about 38 pies with the boxes of apples they have.
(I hope this is correct as I just quickly did it on a post it)
