To make a cherry pie, Veronica needs 3 pounds of pitted cherries.  There are 80 single cherries in one pound of cherries.   It takes 10 minutes to pit 20 cherries.  How many hours will it take Veronica to pit all the cherries?
There are 80 cherries in a pound and she needs 3 pounds to make a pie so she needs 80*3 = <<80*3=240>>240 cherries
It takes her 10 minutes to pit a unit of 20 cherries. She has 240/20 = <<240/20=12>>12 units of cherries to pit
It takes 10 minutes to pit a unit of cherries and she has 12 units so it will take her 10*12 = <<10*12=120>>120 minutes
60 minutes are in 1 hour and it takes her 120 minutes so that’s 120/60 = <<120/60=2>>2 hours
