Question

Dale is making a deep-dish apple pie. He estimates that he will need 1.75 times the amount of filling he would use for a regular apple pie. If his usual apple pie recipe calls for 6 cups of apples, how many cups should Dale use for his deep-dish pie?

Answer 1

10.5 cups

Explanation:

Recipe required for regular pie = 6 cups of apple

Required for a deep-dish apple pie = 1.75 times the recipe for a regular apple pie

Hence, number of cups for a deep-dish apple pie:

1.75 * 6

= 10.5 cups
