Bushels of oranges
To find out how many bushels of oranges they would pick in 7 hours, we can set up a proportion.
If the workers pick 150 bushels of oranges in 5 hours, we can set up the proportion:
150 bushels / 5 hours = x bushels / 7 hours
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
5x = 150 * 7
Simplifying the right side, we get:
5x = 1050
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 1050 / 5
x = 210
Therefore, the workers would pick 210 bushels of oranges in 7 hours.
