Question

A farmer has 6 buckets of blueberries and wants to sell them at a market stall. The farmer will charge $1.50 per pint. If each bucket can hold half a bushel of blueberries, how much will the farmer make in selling all of the blueberries?

Answer 1

The farmer will make a total of $96 from selling 6 buckets of blueberries.

Explanation:

The total price is determined by multiplying the 12 pecks down into pints. Each pint sells for 1.50 and he has 64 pints of blueberries.

64 x $1.50 = $96

Answer 2

$96

Explanation:

6(1/2) = 3 bushels of berries total

3(4) = 12 pecks of berries total

4(8) = 32 quarts of berries total

32(2) = 64 pints of berries total

64 x $1.50 = $96
