oz.

• A. 10.25
• B. 10.75
• C. 8.75
• D. 9.50

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10.25

Given:
Amount of apples required for
8 servings of apple pie = 82 oz

Amount of apples required for 1 serving = 82 ÷ 8

Using long division-:

$$\begin{array}{c}10.25\\ 882\\ -\underset{–}{8}2\\ 20\\ -\underset{–}{16}\\ 40\\ -\underset{–}{40}\\ \underset{–}{0}\end{array}$$

Hence,
82 ÷ 8 = 10.25 oz
i.e.,
Amount of apples required for 1 serving is 10.25 oz.
