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

Answer 1

To determine how many apples are needed for 5 servings, we need to find the ratio of apples to servings in the recipe.

According to the given information, 8 apples are required for 2 servings. Thus, the ratio of apples to servings is 8/2 = 4 apples per serving.

So, to find the number of apples needed for 5 servings, we multiply the number of servings (5) by the ratio (4):

5 servings * 4 apples per serving = 20 apples.

Therefore, you would need 20 apples for 5 servings.
