Matt has a 5lb bag of apples to make a pie he needs to use 3/5 of the bad how many pounds of apples we use for the pie explain what a model for this problem might look like

Answer:Pounds of apple to be used for a pie = 3 lbStep-by-step explanation:Given the bag contains apples weighting  = 5 lbTo make a pie [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of the apples in the bag is used.To find the pounds of apples to be used to make a pie we will have to find the  [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]th part of 5 lb of apples.In order to do that we multiply the fraction to the total weight of apples.Pounds of apple to be used to make a pie⇒ [tex]\frac{3}{5}\ of\ total\ pounds\ of\ apple[/tex]⇒ [tex]\frac{3}{5}\times 5[/tex]⇒ [tex]3[/tex]∴ Pounds of apple to be used for a pie = 3 lb
