1.  Background Story:
pomegranate
 How many seeds are in all of the pomegranates that are grown in California in a year? I chose this question because I love pomegranates and I have always wondered how many seeds come in one pomegranate on average. So wondering this I wanted to know how many seeds came in all of the pomegranates grown in California in a year?

2.  Ask Yourself This:
- how many pomegranates are grown in California in a year?

- how many seeds come in one pomegranate?

- how many pomegranate farms are in California?

3.  Helpful Hints:
-About 600 seeds on average for an average size pomegranate.

- About 150 to 200 pomegranate trees on one aecr of land.

-There are abot 2,500 acres of pomegranates in California
 About 9 pomes per tree

-For the average seeds in a pomegranate I took 2 pomegranates and de seeded them. I came up with about 600 seeds per pomegranate.

4.Construct a formula:

Y= 600*2,500


5.  Messy Math:

200 trees per acre* 2,500 acres of pomegranates = 500,000trees

500,000trees* 9 pomegranates per tree= 4,500,000 pomegranates

4,500,000*600=2,700,000,000

2,700,000,000pomegranate seeds


.  Answer:
2,700,000,000 seeds in every pomegranate grown in California every year.
