In order to find out how many bushels of oranges the workers would pick in 7 hours, we can set up a proportion:

5 hours / 150 bushels = 7 hours / x bushels

Cross-multiplying, we get:

5x = 7 * 150

5x = 1050

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = 210

Therefore, the workers would pick 210 bushels of oranges in 7 hours.
