Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. How many peppers did Peter Piper pick? To answer this question we need to first assess what does a peck mean, does "peck" have a quantity tied to it? The first thing that I did was looked up how much a peck was on Google, it said that about 1 U.S. peck was the equivalent of about 2 gallons. Now we need to assess how many peppers does it take to make a gallon? To help with my research I am just going to use measurements for bell peppers because they weigh almost the same as pickled peppers. I found that there are about 3 large bell peppers in a pound. 1 gallon is about 8 pounds, so all together there are about 24 large bell peppers in one gallon and 48 in two gallons. So if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, he picked about 48 peppers.
