Homemade applesauce is one of Jared's favorite foods, so he stocked up on 10 pounds of

apples at the farmers' market. He estimates that 8 ounces of apples will make 1 cup of

applesauce. How many quarts of applesauce can he make with his farmers' market haul?

5 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think through this bit by bit.

10 lbs * 16 oz/lb = 160 oz. of apples.

In the proportion below, we can see we simply divide by 8, in terms of magnitude.

8 oz - > 1 cup

160 oz - > 160/8 - > 20 cup

20 cups! Is it the answer? NO! They're asking for it in units of quarts, not cups.

We must remember that 1 quart = 4 cups.

20 cups * 1/4 qt/cups = 5 quarts
