To make 5 apple pies, you need 2 pounds of apples. How many pounds of apples do you need to make 20 apple pies?

If we need 2 pounds of apples to make 5 apple pies, then we need 8 apples to make 20 apple pies. It's because:
20 apples / 5 apple pies = 4 4 * 2 pounds = 8 pounds

this is a direct proportionality question the pounds of apples needed is directly proportional to the number of apple pies made to make 5 apple pies , 2 pounds of apples are needed then to make 1 apple pie - 2/5 pounds of apples are needed therefore 1 apple pie requires - 0.4 pounds of apples are needed then to make 20 apple pies - 0.4 x 20 = 8 pounds of apples are needed therefore 8 pounds of apples are required

To make 20 apple pies, you need 8 pounds of apples. This is determined by recognizing that if 2 pounds of apples make 5 pies, then each pie requires 0.4 pounds of apples. Therefore, for 20 pies, you multiply 0.4 by 20 to get 8 pounds.
