To find out how many apples Omar used, we'll first need to determine the number of apples Martin used. Unfortunately, the question doesn't provide that information. So, we won't be able to calculate the exact number of apples Omar used. However, we can follow the given information to set up an equation to find a general solution.
Let's say Martin used "n" apples.
Given that Omar used 5 fewer than half as many apples as Martin used, we can write this as an equation:
Omar's apples = (1/2)*Martin's apples - 5
Substituting "n" for Martin's apples, we get:
Omar's apples = (1/2)*n - 5
With this equation, we can plug in any value for "n" (the number of apples Martin used) to calculate the number of apples Omar used. However, since we don't know the exact value of "n," we can't determine the specific number of apples Omar used.
