To make 2 apple pies, you need 4 pounds of apples. How many pounds of apples do you need to make 5 pies?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go through this together.

To make it easier, let's first find the unit rate to find how many pounds of apples we need for 1 pie.

To find the unit rate, let's divide 4 and 2.

4/2 = 2.

Since you need 2 pounds of apples to make 1 pie, now we can figure out how many we need for 5.

Since 5 is the amount of pies,

2 is pounds per pie, so...

Let's multiple 5 and 2.

5(2) = 10

Therefore, I can conclude that:

You need 10 pounds of apples to make 5 pies.

You would need 10 pounds of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

One pie needs 2 pounds of apples. You can find this by dividing 4 by 2. Then, multiply the number of apples needed for one pie by the amount of pies you need to make.

2/4=2

2 x 5= 10
