Answer :
Final answer:
To find the total weight of the fruit in pounds, multiply the number of bushels of each fruit by the weight per bushel and add up the products. The total weight of the fruit in pounds is 10,096,088 pounds.
The correct answer is D. 34,920 pounds.
Explanation:
To find the total weight of the fruit in pounds, we need to multiply the number of bushels of each fruit by the weight per bushel. We can start with the number of bushels of each fruit: 103103 bushels of apples, 102102 bushels of grapes, and 101101 bushels of oranges. Then, we multiply each of these quantities by their respective weights per bushel: 103103 x 32 pounds for apples, 102102 x 25 pounds for grapes, and 101101 x 42 pounds for oranges. Finally, we add up these products to get the total weight in pounds.
Calculating:
103103 x 32 pounds + 102102 x 25 pounds + 101101 x 42 pounds = 3,297,296 pounds + 2,552,550 pounds + 4,246,242 pounds = 10,096,088 pounds.
Therefore, the total weight of the fruit in pounds is 10,096,088 pounds, which is option D. 34,920 pounds.
To find the total weight of the fruit in pounds, we need to calculate the weight of each type of fruit and then add them together.
The weight of the apples can be calculated by multiplying the number of bushels (103,103) by the weight per bushel (32 pounds):
103,103 bushels * 32 pounds/bushel = 3,299,296 pounds
The weight of the grapes can be calculated by multiplying the number of bushels (102,102) by the weight per bushel (25 pounds):
102,102 bushels * 25 pounds/bushel = 2,552,550 pounds
The weight of the oranges can be calculated by multiplying the number of bushels (101,101) by the weight per bushel (42 pounds):
101,101 bushels * 42 pounds/bushel = 4,248,642 pounds
Now, we add the weights of each type of fruit together to find the total weight:
3,299,296 pounds + 2,552,550 pounds + 4,248,642 pounds = 10,100,488 pounds
Therefore, the total weight of the fruit in pounds is 10,100,488 pounds.
