Question

A farmer uses five bushels of strawberries to make a large batch of jam. the jam is poured into 20-ounce jars. to transport the jam to the market for sale, the farmer uses crates that hold 16 jars. if a bushel is equivalent to 64 pints, how many crates will the farmer need for this batch of jam?

Answer 1

4 crates
64 pints = 1024 ounces
1024/20 = 51.2 so the farmer needs 52 jars to transport that much jam
52/16=3.25 so the farmer needs at least 4 crates to carry the 52 jars
