Question

There are 4 apple trees which each have 10 pounds of apples, 5 peach trees which each have 5 pounds of peaches, and 2 pear trees which each have 12 pounds of pears. If you pick all of this fruit, how many pounds of fruit will you have?

Answer 1

89

Explanation:

Answer 2

To solve, we must find how many pounds of each fruit there is:

Apples:

4 trees x 10 lbs per tree = 40 lbs of apples

Peaches:

5 trees x 5 lbs per tree = 25 lbs of peaches

Pears:

2 trees x 12 lbs per tree = 24 lbs of pears

Now to add them all together:

40 + 25 + 24 = 89

So the final answer is 89 lbs of fruit.

Hope this helps!
