Explanation:

The grocery store has bulk pecans on sale, which is great since you're planning on making 8 pecan pies for a wedding. How many pounds of pecans should you buy?

firstly,

1 3/4 cups of pecans will be enough per pie

so if i am planning for 8 pecan pie

1 3/4   x 8 = 1.75 x 8 = 14 cups are needed

if  there are 2 cups in a bag

how many bags will contain 14 cups?

we say,

14/2 = 7 bags

one pound of pecans=4 cups

x pounds=14 cups, so

x=7/2 pounds

3.5 pounds
