Given that a dozen apples have a mass of 2.0kg and 0.2 bushel is 1 dozen apples, to determine how many bushels of apples are in 3.1kg of apples, the following calculation must be performed:
2 = 12
3.1 = X
3.1 x 12/2 = X
37.2 / 2 = X
18.6 = X
12 = 0.2
18.6 = X
18.6 x 0.2 / 12 = X
3.72 / 12 = X
0.31 = X
Therefore, 0.31 bushels of apples are in 3.1 kg of apples.
