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?
3/10
not enough information
3/5
Start Fraction 3 over 5 End Fraction
4/5
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to know the number of apples remaining after the defective apples were discarded. As the number of remaining apples is not given, we cannot determine the fraction. Therefore, the correct answer is "not enough information."

To find the total area, we need to multiply the length and width of the town.
Total Area = Length x Width
Total Area = 3.8 miles x 4.2 miles
Total Area = 15.96 mi²
Therefore, the correct answer is 15.96 mi².

To find the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we can calculate 23% of 97.2 feet.
Elevation = 23% of 97.2 feet
Elevation = 0.23 x 97.2 feet
Elevation ≈ 22.356 feet
Therefore, the correct answer is -32.4 feet (negative 32.4 ft), as we assume the diver descends from the surface.

To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to calculate 1/14th of the height of the basketball player.
Height of Son = 1/14 * 623 feet
Height of Son = 44.5 feet
Therefore, the correct answer is 44.5 ft.
