An organic vegetable farm produces 3794 tomatoes in a week. Thesetomatoes have to be packed in baskets which can hold 125 tomatoes each.The farm has only 25 such baskets.Find(i) The number of tomatoes left unpacked.(ii) The minimum number of fully–packed extra baskets required
Answers
Total Tomatoes = 3794
Number of Basket = 25
Capacity of storage of each basket = 125 tomatoes...
(i) Left Unpacked
Total tomatoes can be filled = 125 x 25
= 3125
Total Tomatoes = 3794
Tomatoes left unpacked = 3794 - 3125
= 669 Tomatoes
therefore 669 tomatoes are left unpacked...
(ii) Extra fully packed baskets required
Total tomatoes = 3794
Capacity of storage by each basket = 125 tomatoes.
Baskets required = 3794 divided by 125
= 30.352
This means that 30 baskets are required which will be fully filled and the rest will be unable to be filled.
We already had 25 baskets.
so, We need 5 more baskets that will be completely filled and 1 more will be required but that will not be fully filled...
Hope it helps...
