Answer 2

The farmer needs 24 crates to hold the carrots.

Explanation:

To determine how many crates the farmer needs to hold the carrots, knowing that his farm has 4.8 acres of land, where he can harvest 120 pounds per acre, and that each crates can hold up to 24 pounds of carrots, the following calculation must be performed:

(4.8 x 120) / 24 = X

576/24 = X

24 = X

Thus, the farmer needs 24 crates to hold the carrots.
