I. How many pecans are in a pound:

1 pound pecans in the shell = 3 cups shelled pecans

1 pound shelled pecans = about 4 cups pecan halves

1 pound shelled pecans = about 3-3/4 cups chopped pecans

II. How many pecans are needed for each pie:

We assume that pecan h3alves are required. As 1 pound has 4 cups of pecan halves, hence 1.25 cups of pecans weigh 1.25/4 = 0.3125 lb.

For 10 pecan pies, 10*0.3125 = 3.125 or, 3.1 pounds ( on rounding off to 1 decimal place) pounds of pecans need to be purchased.
