To determine if the owner has enough crates to ship out the avocados, we need to calculate the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates.
We know that one crate can hold 205 avocados, and the owner has 36 crates.
So, the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates will be 205 avocados/crate * 36 crates = 7380 avocados in total.
However, there were 7,000 avocados picked at the grove. Since the total number of avocados picked is less than the total number of avocados that can be packed in all the crates (7,000 < 7380), the owner does have enough crates to ship out all the avocados.
- Explain A packing crate can hold 205 avocados. There were 7,000 avocados picked at a large grove. The owner has 36 packing crates. Does he have enough crates to ship out the avocados? Explain.
