37mtaq4tuj, this is the solution to the problem:
Step 1: Weight of the bushel of apples = 48 pounds
Number of apples per bushel = 96 pounds
Step 2: Let's find the individual weight of each apple, as follows:
Individual weight = 48/96
Individual weight 0.5 pounds
Step 3: Let's convert 0.5 pounds to ounces, this way:
Let's recall that:
16 ounces = 1 pound
In consequence,
0.5 pounds = 16/2 ounces
0.5 pounds = 8 ounces
One apple weighs 8 ounces.
