Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of apples = number of containers × mass in each container
6 lb = No of containers × ½ lb
No of containers = 6/½
To divide a whole number by a fraction, invert the fraction and change divide to multiply.
6/½ = 6 × 2/1
Multiply the numerator by the whole number.
6 × 2/1 = 12/1
Simplify the fraction.
12/1 = 12
Elise can make 12 containers of applesauce.
