In South Georgia, Ms. Smith’s orange farm workers pick 150 bushels of oranges in 5 hours. How many bushels of oranges would they pick in 7 hours? Do not label answer.(1 point) Bushels of oranges

Answer 1

To find the number of bushels of oranges the farm 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, we find:

x = 210

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