    1 cup of lemon juice requires around 16 tablespoons of of juice.

    First, we need to know how many cups does making 4 pies require knowing that 1 pie requires half a cup. We can simply do that using cross multiplication as follows:

    number of cups = (4 * (1/2)) / 1 = 2 cups

    Then we need to know how many tablespoons do 2 cups require knowing that each cup requires 16 tablespoons. Again we can calculate this using cross multiplication as follows:

    number of tablespoons = (2*16) / 1 = 32 tablespoons

    Now, we know that each 1 lemon yields 2 tablespoons, we can know how many lemons needed by using cross multiplication as follows:

    number of lemons = (32*1) / 2 = 16 lemons

    One lemons is $0.74

    Therefore,

    total cost = 0.74 * 16 = 11.84$
