how-to books make up 0.3 of the books in the school library of these, 0.2 deal with carpentry and 0.4 deal with electronics.
0.3 x 0.4 = 0.12
interpret what the answer 0.12 represents in this equation above.
answers:
the portion of books in the library that are how-to books
the portion of the books in the library that how how-to books on electronics
the portion of the how-to books that are either carpentry or electronics
the portion of books in the library that are how-to books on carpentry
The answer 0.12 represents the portion of how-to books in the library that deal with electronics.
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)
To find the fraction of apples that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to calculate the number of apples sold as fresh fruit and divide it by the total number of apples picked.
First, let's determine the number of apples sold as fresh fruit.
We know that Sara discarded 110 apples as defective and that 300 apples were made into cider. So, the number of apples remaining for fresh fruit is:
Total apples picked - (Apples discarded + Apples made into cider) = Total apples remaining
Total apples remaining = (Total apples picked - Apples discarded) - Apples made into cider
Total apples remaining = (total apples picked - 110) - 300
Now, let's calculate the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit by dividing the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total apples picked:
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = (Total apples remaining - Apples made into cider) / Total apples picked
Therefore, the correct answer is: the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is
[(Total apples picked - Apples discarded) - Apples made into cider] / Total apples picked.
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)
To find the fraction of apples that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to calculate the number of apples sold as fresh fruit and divide it by the total number of apples picked.
Let's say Sara picked x number of apples.
First, let's determine the number of apples she discarded as defective. It is given that she discarded 1/10 of the apples she picked, so the number of apples discarded is (1/10) * x.
Next, we need to find the number of apples remaining after discarding the defective ones. This would be x - (1/10) * x = (9/10) * x.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is (9/10) * x - 300.
Now, let's calculate the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit by dividing the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total apples picked:
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = (9/10*x - 300) / x
Simplifying the equation further:
= (9x/10 - 300) / x
= (9x - 300x) / (10x)
= -291x / 10x
= -291/10
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is -291/10.
The town of Oak Manor measures 3.8 miles by 4.2 miles. Solve for the total area.(1 point)
To calculate the total area of Oak Manor, we multiply the length of one side by the length of the other side.
Total area = Length x Width
Given that the length of Oak Manor is 3.8 miles and the width is 4.2 miles, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Total area = 3.8 miles x 4.2 miles
Calculating the multiplication:
Total area = 15.96 square miles
Therefore, the total area of Oak Manor is 15.96 square miles.
A diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2
feet below the surface. What is the diver's elevation when he is 23 of the way down? (1 point)
Responses
To calculate the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we need to find 23% of the total distance below the surface.
Total distance below the surface = 97.2 feet
23% of 97.2 = (23/100) * 97.2
Calculating this:
(23/100) * 97.2 = 22.356 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down is 22.356 feet below the surface.
