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 determine the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to know the total number of apples picked. However, the information provided in the question only mentions the number of apples discarded and the number of apples made into cider.
Without the total number of apples picked, we cannot calculate the fraction of apples that were sold as fresh fruit.

To find the total area, you need to multiply the length by the width. So, for Oak Manor, the total area would be 3.8 miles * 4.2 miles = 15.96 mi². Therefore, the correct response is 15.96 mi² (or 15.96 square miles).

To find the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we need to calculate 23% of 97.2 feet.
23% of 97.2 feet = 0.23 * 97.2 feet = 22.356 feet
Since the diver is descending, the elevation would be negative. Therefore, the correct response is -22.356 ft. However, none of the provided responses match this exact value.
nope wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's recalculate.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we can multiply 97.2 feet by 0.23:
97.2 feet * 0.23 = 22.356 feet
Since the diver is descending, the elevation would be negative. Therefore, the correct response is -22.356 ft.
