The answer 0.12 represents the portion of the how-to books in the library that are about either carpentry or electronics.
Bot 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? Pick one of these answers. 3/10. 4/5. not enough information. 3/5.
To determine the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to calculate the fraction of apples that were not discarded and not made into cider.
If Sara discarded 1/10 of the apples she picked, then 9/10 of the apples remained.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider, leaving 9/10 - 300 out of 9/10 apples.
The fraction of apples that were sold as fresh fruit is the remaining fraction (9/10 - 300) divided by the total fraction (9/10).
Therefore, the answer is not enough information as we do not have the value for (9/10 - 300).

Bot 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? Pick one of these answers. -145.8 ft. -32.4 ft. -48.5 ft. -64.8 ft.
If the sunken treasure is 97.2 feet below the surface and the diver is 2/3 of the way down, we can find the diver's elevation by calculating 2/3 of the total distance.
2/3 of 97.2 is (2/3) * 97.2 = 64.8 feet.
Since the diver is descending, the elevation would be negative, so the answer is -64.8 ft.
2/3 of 97.2 is (2/3) * 97.2 = 64.8 feet.
Since the diver is descending, the elevation would be negative, so the answer is -64.8 ft.
Bot a basketball player is 6 2/3 feet tall. His infant son is 1/4 as tall. How tall is his son? Pick one of these answers. 2 2/12 ft. 1 2/3 ft. 2 2/3 ft. 1 1/2 ft.
To find the height of the basketball player's son, we need to calculate 1/4 of the height of the basketball player.
1/4 of 6 2/3 feet can be calculated as (1/4) * (20/3) = 20/12 = 5/3 = 1 2/3 feet.
Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 feet tall.
1/4 of 6 2/3 feet can be calculated as (1/4) * (20/3) = 20/12 = 5/3 = 1 2/3 feet.
Therefore, the son is 1 2/3 feet tall.
