Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total pounds of apple = 7/2 pounds

Pounds of apple needed per batch of applesauce = 3/4 pounds

Number of batches of applesauce which can be made :

Total pounds of apple / pounds of apple needed per batch

7/2 ÷ 3/4

7/2 * 4/3

= 28/6

= 4 4/6

= 4 2/3

Hence, number of batches of applesauce which can be made is 4
