Apple trees in the orchard are producing more fruit this year than in the past. Each year, the tree produces three times and much apples as the previous year. If the orchard is producing 700 apples a year. How many apples will be produced in 3 years?(1 point) Responses 6,300 apple 6,300 apple 18,900 apples 18,900 apples 2,100 apples

Answer 1

To calculate the number of apples produced by the orchard in 3 years, we can use the fact that the production each year triples compared to the previous year.

1. Year 1: The orchard produces 700 apples.
2. Year 2: The production triples, so: \[ 700 \times 3 = 2,100 \text{ apples} \]
3. Year 3: The production again triples: \[ 2,100 \times 3 = 6,300 \text{ apples} \]
4. Year 4: The production triples one more time: \[ 6,300 \times 3 = 18,900 \text{ apples} \]

Therefore, in 3 years, the orchard will produce 18,900 apples.
