You are trying to make the best applesauce in the entire world. The recipe calls for 8 apples in 2 servings, 16 crackers in 3 servings, and so on. How many apples are for 5 servings?

Answer 1

To find out how many apples are needed for 5 servings, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.

If 2 servings require 8 apples, then 1 serving requires 8 apples/2 servings = 4 apples.

Therefore, for 5 servings, you would need 4 apples/serving x 5 servings = 20 apples.
