Heath spent his weekend helping at his uncle’s farm planting carrots. He planted 400 rows of carrots with 300 plants in each row. He used a machine to get the planting done and it took him 20 hours. How many carrots did he plant each hour? Think carefully first, then make a decision:

Heath planted 400 rows x 300 plants = 120,000 carrot plants. He planted 120,000 plants in 20 hours, or 120,000 / 20 = 6,000 plants per hour. So, the answer is 6000.
