Question

b. mr. lopez wants to make 8 gallons of applejuice. he has 60 pounds of apples. if each gallon of applejuice requires 7 pounds of apples, does he have enough apples? if yes, how many pounds are left over? if no, how many more pounds does he need?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total apples needed

First, find the total pounds of apples required for 9 gallons. Each gallon needs 7 pounds, so multiply 9 by 7.
$9 \times 7 = 63$

Step2: Compare with available apples

Compare the required apples (63 lbs) to the apples Mr. Lopez has (60 lbs).
$60 < 63$

Step3: Calculate deficit

Find how many more pounds are needed by subtracting available apples from required apples.
$63 - 60 = 3$

Answer:

No, he does not have enough apples. He needs 3 more pounds.
