Respuesta :

52 1/2 divided by 33/4 is 14 pies

Answer:

She can make 14 apple pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

A baker wants to put [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds or [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] pounds of apples in each pie she makes.

She purchased [tex]52\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds or [tex]\frac{105}{4}[/tex] pounds of apples.

Let she can make x number of apple pies.

So the apples she can put = [tex]\frac{15}{4}\times x[/tex] pounds

Now the equation to get the value of x will be

[tex]\frac{15}{4}\times x[/tex] = [tex]\frac{105}{2}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{105}{2}\times \frac{4}{15}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{420}{30}[/tex]

 = 14

Therefore, she can make 14 apple pies.
