Question

The store is selling lemons at $0.34 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.
How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies, if each ones requires half a cup of lemon juice?

Note: There are 16 tablespoons in a cup of juice.

Answer 1

Each pie requires 1/2 cup so two pies will require 1 cup.
1 cup lemon juice = 16 tbsp. How many lemons? That's
16 tbsp x (1 lemon/2 tbsp) = 8 lemons.
8 lemons x (0.34/lemon) = cost for 8 lemons.
