25x30=750

That gives you the TOTAL number of peaches. Because there are 30 peaches in crate, and there are 25 crates.

OpenStudy (marziman):

Yes, you got it

OpenStudy (iara_ara):

so is it 750 peaches divided by 25?

OpenStudy (marziman):

No, it is 125/750 so you get .16666666667 which is .17

OpenStudy (iara_ara):
