The store is selling lemons at $0.34 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.
How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies, if each ones requires half a cup of lemon juice?
Note: There are 16 tablespoons in a cup of juice.

Well, let's break it down! Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice, and there are 16 tablespoons in a cup. So, for each 9-inch lemon pie, we need half a cup of juice, which is 8 tablespoons. That means we need a total of 16 tablespoons for two pies.
Now, if each lemon gives us 2 tablespoons of juice, we need to figure out how many lemons we need. If we divide 16 tablespoons by 2 tablespoons per lemon, we get 8 lemons.
Now, lemons are being sold at $0.34 each. Multiply that by 8 lemons, and you're looking at a total cost of...
A whopping $2.72!
So, it will cost you about $2.72 to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies. Just make sure to bring your "cash-lemon" with you! ;)
To determine the number of lemons needed, we can calculate the total amount of lemon juice required first. Since each lemon yields 2 tablespoons of juice and each pie requires half a cup (which is 8 tablespoons), we can multiply the tablespoons per pie by the number of pies needed:
8 tablespoons/pie x 2 pies = 16 tablespoons
Knowing that there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, we can convert the 16 tablespoons to cups by dividing by 16:
16 tablespoons ÷ 16 = 1 cup
Therefore, we need 1 cup of lemon juice for the two pies.
Next, let's calculate the number of lemons needed. Since each lemon yields 2 tablespoons of juice, and we need 1 cup of juice, we can divide the required amount by the yield per lemon:
1 cup ÷ 2 tablespoons = 0.5 cups
So, we need approximately 0.5 cups of lemon juice, which translates to:
0.5 cups x 16 tablespoons/cup = 8 tablespoons
Therefore, we need 8 tablespoons of lemon juice, which would require purchasing:
8 tablespoons ÷ 2 tablespoons/lemon = 4 lemons
So, it will cost 4 lemons x $0.34 each = $1.36 to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies.
To calculate the cost of buying enough lemons to make the lemon pies, we need to determine how many lemons are needed to yield the required amount of lemon juice.
First, let's calculate the total amount of lemon juice needed for two 9-inch lemon pies. Each pie requires half a cup of lemon juice, and since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, each pie needs 8 tablespoons of lemon juice.
So, to make two pies, we need a total of 16 tablespoons (8 tablespoons/pie x 2 pies) of lemon juice.
Since each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice, we need to divide the total amount of juice needed (16 tablespoons) by the amount of juice yielded per lemon (2 tablespoons/lemon) to find the number of lemons needed.
16 tablespoons / 2 tablespoons/lemon = 8 lemons
Now that we know we need 8 lemons, we can calculate the cost.
The store is selling lemons at $0.34 each, so we multiply the number of lemons needed (8) by the cost per lemon ($0.34) to find the total cost.
8 lemons x $0.34/lemon = $2.72
Therefore, it will cost $2.72 to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies.
Each pie requires 1/2 cup so two pies will require 1 cup.
1 cup lemon juice = 16 tbsp. How many lemons? That's
16 tbsp x (1 lemon/2 tbsp) = 8 lemons.
8 lemons x (0.34/lemon) = cost for 8 lemons.
