Carlos owns an orchard. His apple trees produced 315 bushels of apples. Each bushel of apples weighs about 48 pounds. There are about 3 apples in each pound. About how many apples did Carlos' apple trees produce? Please show how it is done. Thank you
if 1 bushel = 48 pounds and 1 pound = 3 apples 48 pounds = x apples cross multiply x apples = 48 X 3 ==> 144 apples 1 bushel = 144 apples (because 48 pounds = 1 bushel) 315 bushel = x apples x apples = 144 X 315 x = 45360 apples
