Question

carl is making apple - celery juice from 8 celery sticks. if carl uses all 8 celery sticks, how many apples does carl need to make the juice?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio

From the graph, when there are 4 celery sticks, there are 3 apples. The ratio of apples to celery sticks is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Step2: Calculate the number of apples for 8 celery sticks

Let $x$ be the number of apples for 8 celery sticks. Using the ratio $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{x}{8}$. Cross - multiply: $4x = 3\times8$. So $4x=24$, then $x = 6$.

Answer:

6
