In South Georgia ms Smith orange farm workers picked 150 bushels of oranges in 5 hours. How many bushels of oranges would they pick in 7 hours.
To find out how many bushels of oranges they would pick in 7 hours, we can use the concept of direct proportion.
Let's assume the number of bushels of oranges they pick in 7 hours is 'x'.
According to the given information, the number of bushels of oranges is directly proportional to the number of hours.
Therefore, we can set up a proportion:
150 bushels / 5 hours = x bushels / 7 hours
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5x = 150 * 7
5x = 1050
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we find:
x = 1050 / 5
x = 210
Therefore, in 7 hours, the orange farm workers would pick 210 bushels of oranges.
