Question

If a dozen apples have a mass of 2.0kg and .2 bushel is 1 dozen apples, how many bushels of apples are in 3.1kg of apples?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.31 bushels of apples are in 3.1 kg of apples.

Explanation:

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.
