- Explain A packing crate can hold 205 avocados. There were 7,000 avocados picked at a large grove. The owner has 36 packing crates. Does he have enough crates to ship out the avocados? Explain.
To determine if the owner has enough crates to ship out the avocados, we need to calculate the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates.
We know that one crate can hold 205 avocados, and the owner has 36 crates.
So, the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates will be 205 avocados/crate * 36 crates = 7380 avocados in total.
However, there were 7,000 avocados picked at the grove. Since the total number of avocados picked is less than the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates (7,000 < 7380), the owner does have enough crates to ship out all the avocados.
To determine if the owner has enough crates to ship out the avocados, we need to calculate the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates.
Since each packing crate can hold 205 avocados and there are 36 crates, the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates can be found by multiplying the capacity of one crate (205) by the number of crates (36):
205 avocados/crate * 36 crates = 7380 avocados
So, the owner can pack a total of 7,380 avocados in all the crates.
Since there were 7,000 avocados picked at the grove, we can compare this number to the total capacity of the crates.
If the number of avocados picked (7,000) is less than or equal to the total capacity of the crates (7,380), then the owner has enough crates to ship out the avocados.
In this case, 7,000 avocados < 7,380 avocados, which means the owner has enough crates to ship out all the avocados.
To determine if the owner has enough crates to ship out the avocados, we need to compare the number of avocados that can be packed in one crate to the total number of avocados picked.
Given:
- Each packing crate can hold 205 avocados.
- There were 7,000 avocados picked at the grove.
- The owner has 36 packing crates.
To find out if the owner has enough crates, we can calculate the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates.
Total capacity of all crates = Number of crates * Capacity of one crate
Total capacity of all crates = 36 crates * 205 avocados per crate
Total capacity of all crates = 7,380 avocados
By comparing the total capacity of all the crates (7,380 avocados) to the total number of avocados picked (7,000 avocados), we can determine if there are enough crates.
If the total capacity of all crates is equal to or greater than the total number of avocados picked, then the owner has enough crates. Otherwise, the crates are not enough to ship out all the avocados.
In this case, the total capacity of all the crates (7,380 avocados) is greater than the total number of avocados picked (7,000 avocados). Therefore, the owner has enough crates to ship out all the avocados.
