Thanks - How many pecks in a bushell - and don't ask anyone else for the answer - only Canadians would know this.
Karen -- your first question was posted just a minute before this one. Please don't keep reposting the same question.
sorry about that, I'm new to this. Won't happen again
There are four US pecks in 1 US bushel. I'm not Canadian and I remember that from 4th grade. I don't know that the Canadian measure is the same but I'm guessing that it is.
you're right - bravo. And I spellled bushel wrong - oops||||
To determine how many pecks are in a bushel, we can use a conversion factor. A peck is a unit of volume equal to 1/4th of a bushel. So, to find the number of pecks in a bushel, we can divide the volume of a bushel by the volume of a peck.
First, we need to know the exact volume of a bushel. However, there are different definitions for a bushel depending on the country and the type of product being measured. Since you mentioned that only Canadians would know this, let's assume you are referring to the Canadian bushel, which is approximately 35.2391 liters.
Now, let's calculate the number of pecks in a bushel:
1 bushel = 35.2391 liters
1 peck = 1/4 bushel
To convert liters to pecks, we need to divide the volume of a bushel by the volume of a peck:
Pecks in a bushel = (35.2391 liters) / (1/4)
By dividing 35.2391 liters by 1/4, we can calculate the number of pecks in a Canadian bushel.
Please note that this is an approximate conversion, as the specific definitions of units can vary.
