Math Problem Statement

Kathy is baking 3 apple pies. Each apple pie requires 2 3/4 pounds of apples. How much will Kathy spend on apples?

Solution

Let's break down the math problem visible in the image:

Problem: Kathy is baking 3 apple pies. Each pie requires 2342 \frac{3}{4} pounds of apples. We need to calculate how much Kathy will spend on apples if the price per pound is given (but not visible clearly in this part).

Steps:

  1. First, convert the mixed fraction 2342 \frac{3}{4} into an improper fraction: 234=1142 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}
  2. Multiply the number of pies by the amount of apples per pie: 3×114=334=8.25 pounds of apples in total.3 \times \frac{11}{4} = \frac{33}{4} = 8.25 \text{ pounds of apples in total.}
  3. If the price per pound is visible or mentioned elsewhere, multiply 8.25 by the price per pound to find the total cost.

Do you have the price per pound of apples? If not, we can infer that part next!
