Question

A packing crate can hold 205 avocados. There were 7000 avocados picked at a large grove. The owner has 36 packing crates. Does he have enough crates to ship out the avocados? Explain.

Answer 1

First, you would have to divide 7000 by 205. This gives you 34 & a remainder. The owner can't pack parts of a crate so yes he does because he only has 34 full crates to ship. Leaving him with 2 extra crates left. 

Answer 2

Yes, he has enough crates to ship out the avocado.

Explanation:

A packing crate can hold 205 avocados. There were 7000 avocados picked at a large grove.

The owner has 36 packing crates.

Thus, he can pack a total of =
`205*36=7380` avocados.

And he has 7000 avocados, so yes, he has enough crates to ship out the avocados.
