Answer:

Thus, to make 4 pecan pies one need to buy approximately 1.3 pounds of pecan.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Number of pecan pies to be made = 4

Pecan required to make 1 pie = [tex]1\frac{1}{2} \text{ cups}[/tex]

Pecan required to make 4 cups =

[tex]4\times 1\frac{1}{2} = 4\times \frac{3}{2} = 6\text{ cups}[/tex]

Now, 1 bag of pecan has a serving size of 1 cup . Hence, we need to buy 6 such bag.

Now, weight of one bag = 99 grams

Weight for 6 cups of pecan = [tex]6\times 99 = 594\text{ grams}[/tex]

We know that:

1 gram = 0.00220462 Pounds

594 grams of pecans = [tex]594\times 0.00220462 =1.30954428 \text{ pounds of Pecan}[/tex]

Thus, to make 4 pecan pies one need to buy approximately 1.3 pounds of pecan.

To solve this problem, first determine the information you need to answer. As we need to make 4 pecans of the pies, take the values for the one piece and multiply it with four.

To make 4 pecans pies one will required to by 1.30 pounds of pecan.

Given information:

Number of pecan pies to be made is 4

The pecan needed to make 1 pie is [tex]1.5[/tex]  cups.

Now, Pecan required to make 4 cups will be:

[tex]4 \times 1.5 = 6[/tex] cups.

As, 1 bag of pecan has a serving size of 1 cup

Hence, we need 6 such bags.

Now, weight of the bag is 99 grams

so,

weight of 6 such bags will be

[tex]=6\times 99\\=594 \;\text{gm}[/tex]

And we have

[tex]1 \; \text{gm}=0.00220462 \; \text{pound}[/tex]

So,

594 grams of pecans = [tex]594\times 0.00220462[/tex]

[tex]=1.3095 \;\text{pounds}[/tex]

Hence, to make 4 pecans pies one will required to by 1.30 pounds of pecan.
