A citrus grower ships grapefruit in boxes of 10. One season, the grower shipped 20,400 boxes of grapefruit.how many grapefruit were shipped.

Answer 1

204,000 boxes of grapefruit

Answer 2

If one box contains 10 grapefruits and there were 20,400 boxes in one season, then all we need to do is to multiply 20,400 by 10:

20,400 * 10 = 204,000

So the citrus grower shipped 204 thousand grapefruits.
