Mrs. Coote-Brown needed 1 gallon of sliced peaches to make peach pies for her family reunion. If each pie requires 4 cups of peaches, how many pies will Mrs. Coote-Brown be making?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total number of pies make = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Mrs. Coote-Brown needed 1 gallon of sliced peaches to make

             peach pies for her family reunion.

To find - If each pie requires 4 cups of peaches, how many pies will  

               Mrs. Coote-Brown be making ?

Proof -

As we know 1 gallon = 16 cups.

Now given,

4 cups of peaches = 1 peach pie

⇒1 cup of peach = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] peach pie

⇒16 cups of peaches = [tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex] peach pie

⇒1 gallon of peaches  = 4 peach pie

∴ we get

Total number of pies make = 4
