A Peck of Possibilities
Ever wonder how big a peck is? A peck is 1/4th of a bushel and measures by volume rather than weight—in pickled peppers the volume would be about 8 gallons.
In unhusked ears of corn, the volume would be about 17 pounds; in apples, the volume is about 11 pounds.
Ever wonder about the volume of uses for test scores? More than a dozen! Now that's a peck of possibilities!
