1. Elizabeth planned to make 6 pans of apple crisp for the day, using extra tart granny smith apples-just like her grandmother had. But after peeling, coring, and slicing she had a major problem: she only had 10 cups of apple slices. it was getting late and she needed to get some pans of apple crisp into the over. she knew that 10 cups of apple was 2 1/2 times as much 4 cups she needed, so she decided to use multiplication to figure 2 1/2 batches. Base on her hasty decision, how much each of each ingredient will she need?
2. After looking at her math, Elizabeth realized her mistake. She didn't have a pan that she could use for half a batch, and her math seemed too complicated anyway. she decided she would just make a double batch for now, because the she wouldn't need to multiply. using addition, how much of each ingredient would she need for a double batch?

Wonder what she did with the extra 2 cups of tart sliced apples?
