The Farmers Market sells apples by the bushel, and each bushel of apples weighs 42 lbs. A bushel of large apples contains 84 apples. If a bushel of small apples contains twice as many apples as a bushel of large apples, how many small apples are in 1 lb of apples?

Answer :

Answer: 4 apples in 1 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are twice as many apples as large apples, you would multiply

2 x 84 = 168

To find the apples per pound we want to divide the total number of apples, which is 168 by the weight of the bushel which is 42 lbs.

168/42=4

Therefore, there is 4 apples in 1 lb.

Hope this helped!, come back if i am wrong! :) ( I can redo the problem if it is)

Have a nice day! :)

The number of small apples are in 1 pound of apples is 4.

Each bushel weighs 42 pounds. To find out how many small apples are in 1 pound of apples, we need to perform a couple of steps.

Since a bushel of small apples contains twice as many as the large ones, this means there are 84 x 2 = 168 small apples in a bushel.

Next, to determine the number of small apples per pound, we divide the total number of small apples in a bushel by the weight of the bushel in pounds:

168 small apples / 42 lbs = 4 small apples per lb

Therefore, there are 4 small apples in 1 lb of apples from the Farmers Market.
