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

1 answer

To find the number of apples needed for 5 servings, we can set up a ratio based on the given information.

If 8 apples are needed for 2 servings, then the ratio of apples to servings is 8/2 = 4 apples per serving.

So, for 5 servings, we would need 5 x 4 = <<5*4=20>>20 apples.
