Question

The workers at a large apple orchard picked 120 truckloads of apples in the course of one season. Each truck holds 2,025 apples. Use the standard algorithm to find how many apples were picked.(1 point) How many apple

Answer 1

To find the total number of apples picked, you can multiply the number of truckloads by the number of apples in each truck.

Given:
- Number of truckloads = 120
- Apples per truck = 2,025

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[
120 \times 2,025
\]

You can break this down using the standard algorithm:

1. Multiply \( 120 \) by \( 5 \) (the units place of \( 2,025 \)):
\[
120 \times 5 = 600
\]

2. Multiply \( 120 \) by \( 20 \) (the tens place of \( 2,025 \)):
\[
120 \times 20 = 2,400
\]

3. Multiply \( 120 \) by \( 0 \) (the hundreds place of \( 2,025 \)):
\[
120 \times 0 = 0
\]

4. Multiply \( 120 \) by \( 2 \) (the thousands place of \( 2,025 \)):
\[
120 \times 2 = 240
\]

Now, shift each result appropriately for its place value:

- \( 600 \) (from \( 5 \))
- \( 2,400 \) (from \( 20 \); shift one place left)
- \( 0 \) (from \( 0 \); shift two places left)
- \( 240 \) (from \( 2 \); shift three places left)

Now add these results together:

```
240,000 (from 240)
+ 0 (from 0)
+ 2,400 (from 2,400)
+ 600 (from 600)
---------
243,000
```

Thus, the total number of apples picked is **243,000 apples**.
