Question

The Farmers Market sells apples by the bushel, and each bushel of apples weighs 42 lbs. A bushel of large apples contains 84 apples. If a bushel of small apples contains twice as many apples is a bushel of large apoles, how many small apples are in 1 lb of apples?​

Answer 1

Answer: 4 apples in 1 lb

Explanation:

Since there are twice as many apples as large apples, you would multiply

2 x 84 = 168

To find the apples per pound we want to divide the total number of apples, which is 168 by the weight of the bushel which is 42 lbs.

168/42=4

Therefore, there is 4 apples in 1 lb.
