Here, we know that 1 pint = 2 cups
Thus, 1 cup = [tex] \frac{1 pints}{2} [/tex]
3 ponds apples are needed for 4 cups i.e. 3 ponds of apples = 4 cups of applesauce
1 cup of applesauce = [tex] \frac{3 ponds}{4} [/tex]
Now, 6 pints will have 12 cups of applesauce
Multiplying this equation by 12 ⇒ 1 cup of applesauce = [tex] \frac{3 ponds}{4} [/tex]
12 ×1 cup of applesauce = 12 × [tex] \frac{3 ponds}{4} [/tex]
So, 12 cups of applesauce = 9 ponds of apple.
Thus, 9 ponds of apple will be needed to make 6 pints of applesauce.
