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.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

This is because, as we know, the owner has 36 crates that can hold 205 avocados. There are 7000 avocados so using no more than the 36 crates, 205 x 36 = 7,380. So, using less than 36 crates, and not surpassing the number of avocados that can be shipped, all 7000 avocados can be shipped.

Answer: He does have enough crates to ship out the avocados.

Step-by-step explanation: 205 avocados fit inside a shipping container. At a big grove, 7000 avocados were picked. 36 cargo containers belong to the owner. As a result, he can fit a total of = avocados. And since he has 7000 avocados, he does indeed have enough crates to carry the fruit.
