Answer:
96 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
48/2 = 24
48 is 24 times 2, so to make 48 pies you need 24 times as many pounds of apples as to make 2 apple pies.
24 * 4 lb = 96 lb
You can also solve this problem using a proportion.
2 it to 4 as 48 is to x
2/4 = 48/x
2x = 4 * 48
x = 2 * 48
x = 96
Answer: 96 lb
