Sara discarded 1/10 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)
not enough information
4/5
3/5
3/10
To determine the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to know the quantity of apples remaining after discarding 1/10 of the picked apples as defective. Since that information is given, we can calculate the fraction as follows:
Let the total number of apples picked be represented by "x".
Number of apples discarded = (1/10)x
Number of apples remaining = x - (1/10)x
Number of apples remaining = (9/10)x
Of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. Therefore, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit = (9/10)x - 300
The fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = (number of apples sold as fresh fruit) / (total number of apples picked) = [(9/10)x - 300] / x
Cancel out the "x" in the numerator and denominator:
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = (9/10) - 300/x
Since we do not have the value of "x", we cannot determine the exact fraction. Therefore, the answer is "Not enough information".
A basketball player is 6 2/3 feet tall. His infant son is 1/4 as tall. How tall is his son? (1 point)
1 2/3 ft.
2 2/12 ft.
1 1/2 ft.
2 2/3 ft.
To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to multiply the height of the basketball player by 1/4.
6 2/3 feet = 20/3 feet
(20/3 feet) * (1/4) = 20/12 feet = 5/3 feet
Therefore, his son is 5/3 feet tall, which is equivalent to 1 2/3 feet.
So, the correct answer is 1 2/3 ft.
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to calculate the fraction that Sara discarded and subtract it from 1.
Sara discarded 1/10 of the apples she picked as defective, so the fraction discarded is 1/10.
This means that the fraction remaining is 1 - 1/10 = 9/10.
Of the apples remaining, 300 were made into cider. This means that the fraction of apples made into cider is 300/(9/10) = 300 * 10/9 = 333 1/3.
The rest of the apples, which were sold as fresh fruit, can be calculated as 1 - 333 1/3 = 666 2/3.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 666 2/3 / (9/10) = 666 2/3 * 10/9 = 740/9.
Simplifying the fraction 740/9, we get 3/10.
Therefore, the answer is 3/10.
To determine the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we first need to find the number of apples Sara picked after discarding the defective ones.
Since Sara discarded 1/10 of the apples, this means that 9/10 of the apples remained.
Out of these remaining apples, 300 were turned into cider. Therefore, the rest of the apples that were not made into cider were sold as fresh fruit.
To find this fraction, we need to subtract the cider apples from the remaining apples:
Remaining apples = (9/10) * Total apples
Fresh fruit = Remaining apples - Cider apples
Now, we can calculate the fraction of fresh fruit by dividing the number of fresh fruit apples by the total apples:
Fraction of fresh fruit = Fresh fruit / Total apples
Given the options 1) not enough information, 2) 4/5, 3) 3/5, and 4) 3/10, we can calculate the fraction as follows:
Fresh fruit / Total apples = (Remaining apples - Cider apples) / Total apples
Let's substitute the values:
(9/10 * Total apples - 300) / Total apples
Simplifying the fraction:
(9/10 - 300/Total apples) / 1
Since we don't have the specific value for the total number of apples picked, we cannot calculate the exact fraction. Thus, the correct answer is 1) not enough information.
