Question

The store is selling lemons at $0.33 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make four 9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

Answer 1

$5.28

Explanation:

There are 16 table spoons in a cup, and since the entire recipe calls for 2 cups, 32 table spoons would be needed. If each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons, then that means 16 lemons would be needed. To get the price, we multiply 0.33 x 16, and get 5.28.
