Apple and peach trees are planted in the orchard of the Grange Poser farm. The orchard has 30 apple trees that each give 150 kg of apples and 45 peach trees that each produce an average of 65 kg of fruit. What is the total mass of fruit harvested in this orchard?
How many apples do the apple trees produce? ** Let’s first calculate what the apple trees produce: 30 trees * 150 kg/tree = <<30*150=4500>>4500 kg
How many peaches do the peach trees produce? ** Then let's calculate what the peaches produce: 45 trees * 65 kg/tree = <<45*65=2925>>2925 kg
What is the total mass of fruit harvested in this orchard? ** We add these two masses: 4500 kg + 2925 kg = <<4500+2925=7425>>7425 kg
