Question

Assume 2.0 kg of apples is 1 dozen and that each apple has 8 seeds. How many seeds are in 14 kg of apples?

Answer 1

To find the number of seeds in 14 kg of apples, calculate the number of dozens in 14 kg, determine the total number of apples, and then multiply by the number of seeds per apple, resulting in 672 seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of seeds in 14 kg of apples, we need to determine how many apples are there in 14 kg and then multiply that by the number of seeds per apple.

We know that 2.0 kg of apples is equal to 1 dozen (12) apples, and each apple has 8 seeds.

So, first, we find the number of dozens in 14 kg:

1. Divide the total weight of apples, 14 kg, by the weight of a dozen apples, 2 kg:
   14 kg ÷ 2 kg/dozen = 7 dozen.
2. Now we calculate the total number of apples in 7 dozen:
   7 dozen × 12 apples/dozen = 84 apples.
3. The total number of seeds is then calculated by multiplying the total number of apples by the number of seeds per apple:
   84 apples × 8 seeds/apple = 672 seeds.

Therefore, there are 672 seeds in 14 kg of apples.
