To make 8 pies, they would need 1 more pound of cherries and 2 more pounds of apples.

Answer 1

To break it down:

- Casey picked 6 pounds of pears, which is equivalent to 96 ounces.
- Karen picked 48 ounces of cherries.
- Jude picked 2 pounds of apples, which is equivalent to 32 ounces.

- Together, Karen and Jude picked (48 + 32) 80 ounces of fruit, which is the same as what Casey picked.
- Casey picked 2 times the weight of fruit that Karen picked, which means Karen picked 48 ounces, and Casey picked 96 ounces.

- There is enough fruit to make 6 pies, which means they have enough fruit to make 6 pies with the total amount they gathered.
- If they make as many pies as possible, there will be 4 pounds of pears left over, meaning there is an excess of 64 ounces of pears after making 6 pies.

- To make 8 pies, they would need 1 more pound of cherries, which is equivalent to 16 ounces, and 2 more pounds of apples, which is equivalent to 32 ounces. This brings the total amount needed to make 8 pies to (96 + 16 + 32) 144 ounces of fruit.
