If there are 20 to 25 apples in a basket and there are 3 to 4 baskets in a bushel, what is the minimum number of bushels that can be filled by 1000 apples?

25 * 4 = 100 apples in a bushel

1,000 / 100 = _______ minimum number of bushels

To find the minimum number of bushels that can be filled by 1000 apples, we need to determine the range of the number of apples in a bushel.

Given that there are 20 to 25 apples in a basket, we can calculate the maximum and minimum number of apples in a bushel by multiplying these values by the number of baskets in a bushel.

Minimum number of apples in a bushel: 20 (minimum apples in a basket) * 3 (number of baskets in a bushel) = 60 apples
Maximum number of apples in a bushel: 25 (maximum apples in a basket) * 4 (number of baskets in a bushel) = 100 apples

So, a bushel can contain a minimum of 60 apples and a maximum of 100 apples.

To find the minimum number of bushels that can be filled by 1000 apples, we need to divide 1000 (total number of apples) by 100 (maximum number of apples in a bushel). This will give us the minimum number of bushels required.

Minimum number of bushels = 1000 (total number of apples) / 100 (maximum number of apples in a bushel) = 10 bushels.

Therefore, the minimum number of bushels that can be filled by 1000 apples is 10 bushels.
