How-to books make up 0.3 of the books in the school library. Of these how-to books, 0.2 deal with carpentry and 0.4 deal with electronics.
0.3×0.4=0.12
Interpret what the answer 0.12 represents in this equation above
The answer 0.12 represents the portion of the school library's books that deal with both how-to books and electronics.
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to find the number of apples sold as fresh fruit and divide it by the total number of apples picked.
The total number of apples picked is the sum of the number of defective apples discarded and the number of apples remaining.
Apples remaining = Total apples picked - Defective apples discarded = Total apples picked - 110
The number of apples sold as fresh fruit is the number of apples remaining after making cider.
Apples sold as fresh fruit = Apples remaining - Apples made into cider = (Total apples picked - 110) - 300 = (Total apples picked - 410)
The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is:
(Apples sold as fresh fruit) / (Total apples picked)
= (Total apples picked - 410) / (Total apples picked)
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is (Total apples picked - 410) / (Total apples picked).

In the equation, 0.3 × 0.4 = 0.12, the answer 0.12 represents the fraction or proportion of books in the school library that are both how-to books and specifically deal with electronics. It is obtained by multiplying the proportion of how-to books (0.3) by the proportion of how-to books that deal with electronics (0.4).
Sara discarded 110 of the apples she picked as defective. Of the apples remaining, 300 were made into cider. The rest were sold as fresh fruit. What fraction of the total apples picked were sold as fresh fruit?(1 point)
