Question

Johnys new york style pizza orderderd 82 tamatoes to make pizza sauce. The farmers crates only hold 32 tamatoes. How many crates will the farmer need

Answer 1

To hold 82 tomatoes, the farmer will need 3 crates.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many crates the farmer needs, we need to divide the total number of tomatoes ordered by the number of tomatoes that can fit in one crate.

So, 82 tomatoes ÷ 32 tomatoes per crate

= 2.5625 crates.

Since we can't have a fraction of a crate, the farmer will need to round up to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the farmer will need 3 crates to hold the 82 tomatoes.
