A packing crate can hold 205 avocados. There were 7000 avocados picked at a large grove. The owner has 36 packing crates. Does he have enough crates to ship out the avocados? Explain.

First, you would have to divide 7000 by 205. This gives you 34 & a remainder. The owner can't pack parts of a crate so yes he does because he only has 34 full crates to ship. Leaving him with 2 extra crates left.

Answer:

Yes, he has enough crates to ship out the avocado.

Explanation:

A packing crate can hold 205 avocados. There were 7000 avocados picked at a large grove.

The owner has 36 packing crates.

Thus, he can pack a total of =
205*36=7380 avocados.

And he has 7000 avocados, so yes, he has enough crates to ship out the avocados.
