Problem 3

Carrie has a rectangular garden that measures $6$ feet by $8$ feet. She plants the entire garden with strawberry plants. Carrie is able to plant $4$ strawberry plants per square foot, and she harvests an average of $10$ strawberries per plant. How many strawberries can she expect to harvest?

$\textbf{(A) }560 \qquad \textbf{(B) }960 \qquad \textbf{(C) }1120 \qquad \textbf{(D) }1920 \qquad \textbf{(E) }3840$

Solution

The answer is the product of the area of the field, the amount of strawberries per plant, and the amount of plants in one square feet. The answer is $6 \times 8 \times 10 \times 4 = 1920$ or $\boxed{\textbf{D }1920}$.
