Answer 1

To determine which recipe requires the least number of berries per batch and the difference in pints for a double batch, we need to compare the amounts of berries used in each recipe.

Given the responses, it seems that:

• For a double batch of berry pie, it requires fewer pints than a double batch of berry cobbler.
• The first response indicates a difference of 5.5 pints, while the second response indicates a difference of 4.5 pints, and so forth.

Based on the most straightforward comparison without specific pint values provided:

1. If we go with the second response, which states "Berry pie uses less berries. For a double batch, you would need 4.5 fewer pints of berries than needed for a double batch of berry cobbler.", we can conclude that the berry pie is indeed the recipe that uses fewer berries, and the difference in pints for making double batches is 4.5 pints.

Therefore, the answer is:

Berry pie uses less berries. For a double batch, you would need 4.5 fewer pints of berries than needed for a double batch of berry cobbler.
