You can solve this by cross multiplying. Set up two ratios of how many pounds of apples over how many pies.

\(\frac{2}{5}\) = \(\frac{x}{20}\)   Cross-multiply
5x = 2 (20)   Multiply
5x = 40        Divide
x = 8

You need 8 pounds of apples to make 20 pies.

10 pounds
20 apple pie x 2 pounds=10 pounds
