First, you need to understand what the question is asking for. It wants to know how many bushels of tomatoes did the farm produce given that each bushel of tomatoes weighs about 60 pounds and the farm produced a total of 13,047 pounds of tomatoes.
To solve this, you must first know how much weight constitutes a bushel of tomatoes, which the question already provides - 60 pounds.
Next, you will then divide the total pounds of tomatoes produced by the weight of one bushel of tomatoes to find the number of bushels produced on the farm.
So, the calculation is as follows:
Divide the total pounds of tomatoes (13,047 pounds) by the weight of one bushel (60 pounds).
13,047 ÷ 60 = approximately 217.45
Therefore, the farm produced approximately 217.45 bushels of tomatoes. Your answer is the closest to option a. 217.45 bushels.
Answer: a. 217.45 bushels
