you are trying to make the best applesauce in the entire world. the recipe calls 8 apple for 2 serving 16 cracker in for 3 serving and so on how many apples for 5 servings

Answer 1

To determine the number of apples needed for 5 servings, we can set up a proportion using the ratios given in the problem:

8 apples for 2 servings
Therefore, (8/2) = (x/5), where x represents the unknown number of apples needed for 5 servings.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2x = 8 * 5
2x = 40

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x:
x = 40/2
x = 20

Hence, you would need 20 apples for 5 servings of applesauce.
