In South Georgia, Ms. Smith’s orange farm workers pick 225 bushels of oranges in 15 hours. How many bushels of oranges would they pick in 5 hours? Do not label answer.

Answer 1

To find out how many bushels of oranges the workers would pick in 5 hours, divide the total number of bushels picked in 15 hours by the number of hours:

225 bushels / 15 hours = <<225/15=15>>15 bushels per hour

Then, multiply the bushels per hour by the number of hours:

15 bushels/hour x 5 hours = <<15*5=75>>75 bushels
