a family of five pick apple trees. Two can pick 1.5 bushels per hour. Three can pick 2.3 bushels per hour. How many bushels does the family pick in one 8 hour day?

Respuesta :

Answer:   79.2 bushels

Step-by-step explanation:

Total for 1 hour is: 2(1.5 bushels) + 3(2.3 bushels)

                            =   3 bushels    +   6.9 bushels

                            =              9.9 bushels


Total for 8 hours is: 9.9 × 8

                               = 79.2
