Solution

First, we need to find out the total number of ears of corn the farmer harvested. We do this by multiplying the number of containers by the number of ears of corn in each container.

So, 75 containers * 49 ears of corn = 3675 ears of corn.

Next, we need to find out how many ears of corn the farmer put in each crate. We do this by dividing the total number of ears of corn by the number of crates.

So, 3675 ears of corn / 5 crates = 735 ears of corn per crate.

Therefore, the answer is C. 735.
