Question

A truck is carrying 105 bushels of apples, 102 bushels of grapes, and 101 bushels of oranges. Each bushel of apples weighs 32 pounds, each bushel of grapes weighs 25 pounds, and each bushel of oranges weighs 42 pounds. What is the total weight of the fruit in pounds? O A 3,592 pounds OB. 5,742 pounds O C. 32,299 pounds O D. 34,920 pounds wered

Answer 1

To determine the total weight of the fruit, multiply the number of bushels by the weight per bushel for each type of fruit and add the results. The total weight is 10,152 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total weight of the fruit that the truck is carrying in pounds, we need to multiply the number of bushels of each type of fruit by their respective weights and then add the weights together.

The weight of the apples is 105 bushels × 32 pounds/bushel = 3360 pounds.

The weight of the grapes is 102 bushels × 25 pounds/bushel = 2550 pounds.

The weight of the oranges is 101 bushels × 42 pounds/bushel = 4242 pounds.

Now, we add these weights to find the total:

• 3360 pounds (apples)
• 2550 pounds (grapes)
• 4242 pounds (oranges)

Total weight = 3360 + 2550 + 4242 = 10,152 pounds.

Therefore, the total weight of the fruit in pounds is 10,152 pounds.

Answer 2

To find the total weight of the fruits we need to multiply the number of bushels of each fruit by their respective weight and add the results. This is done below:
