Answer:

Explanation:

The total number of apples produced at the apple harvest is 2,350kg.

1 kg = 1000 grams. Therefore,

2350 kg = 2350 × 1000 = 2350000kg

A farmer packs 36 apples in the box. If one apple weighs approximately 250 grams, the total weight of 36 apples would be

36 × 250 = 9000 grams

Therefore, the number of boxes that are needed to pack the apples would be

2350000/9000 = 261.11

It means that 262 boxes would be needed.
