To solve this problem, we need to find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit.
Let's assume that Sara picked "x" apples initially.
Since Sara discarded 1/10 of the apples as defective, the number of apples remaining is (1 - 1/10)x = (9/10)x.
Of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is ((9/10)x - 300).
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is ((9/10)x - 300) / x.
However, we don't have the specific value of "x" given in the problem, so we cannot determine the exact fraction.
The correct answer is "not enough information".
The town of Oak Manor measures 3.8 miles by 4.2 miles. Solve for the total area.(1 point)
To solve for the total area of Oak Manor, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by width.
Given that the length of Oak Manor is 3.8 miles and the width is 4.2 miles, you can calculate the total area as follows:
Area = Length × Width
Area = 3.8 miles × 4.2 miles
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 2/3 of the way down? (1 point)
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total depth below the surface.
The total depth below the surface is 97.2 feet.
To find 2/3 of the total depth, we multiply 97.2 feet by 2/3:
Elevation = 97.2 feet × 2/3
Elevation = (97.2 × 2) / 3
Elevation = 194.4 / 3
Elevation ≈ 64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is approximately 64.8 feet below the surface.

Apologies for the confusion caused by the previous response.
The correct answer is:
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total depth below the surface.
The total depth below the surface is 97.2 feet.
To find 2/3 of the total depth, we multiply 97.2 feet by 2/3:
Elevation = 97.2 feet × 2/3
Elevation = (97.2 × 2) / 3
Elevation = 194.4 / 3
Elevation ≈ 64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is approximately 64.8 feet below the surface.
The correct answer is: -64.8 ft.
A basketball player is 6 2/3 feet tall. His infant son is 1/4 as tall. How tall is his son?(1 point)
Responses
To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to find 1/4 of the player's height.
The basketball player is 6 2/3 feet tall. To convert this mixed number to an improper fraction, we can multiply the whole number (6) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (2), then write it over the denominator:
6 2/3 = (6 × 3 + 2) / 3 = 20/3
Now, we can find 1/4 of the player's height by multiplying 20/3 by 1/4:
(20/3) × (1/4) = 20/12 = 5/3
Therefore, the son is 5/3 feet tall.
The correct answer is: 5/3 feet.
