Answer 4

To find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, we first determine how many apples were discarded as defective.

Sara discarded \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the 200 apples:

\[
\text{Defective apples} = \frac{1}{10} \times 200 = 20
\]

Next, we subtract the defective apples from the total apples picked to find the amount sold as fresh fruit:

\[
\text{Fresh apples} = 200 - 20 = 180
\]

Therefore, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is **180**.

Answer 5

Yes, that is correct. Here is the breakdown:

1. Sara picked 200 apples.
2. She discarded \( \frac{1}{10} \) of them as defective:
\[
\frac{1}{10} \times 200 = 20 \text{ defective apples}
\]
3. To find the number of fresh apples, you subtract the defective apples from the total apples:
\[
200 - 20 = 180 \text{ fresh apples}
\]

So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is indeed **180**.

Answer 6

To find the total area of the town of Oak Manor, which is shaped like a rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

Given:
- Length = 4.2 miles
- Width = 3.8 miles

Now, calculate the area:

\[
\text{Area} = 4.2 \, \text{miles} \times 3.8 \, \text{miles} = 15.96 \, \text{mi}^2
\]

Therefore, the total area is **15.96 mi²**.

Answer 7

To find the height of the basketball player's son, who is \( \frac{1}{4} \) as tall as the player, we need to first convert the player's height from a mixed number to an improper fraction.

The basketball player's height is \( 6 \frac{2}{3} \) feet.

1. Convert \( 6 \frac{2}{3} \) to an improper fraction:
\[
6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} \, \text{feet} \quad (\text{since } 6 \times 3 + 2 = 20)
\]

2. Now, we find \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the player's height:
\[
\text{Son's height} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{20}{3} = \frac{20}{12} = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{feet}
\]

3. Convert \( \frac{5}{3} \) to a mixed number:
\[
\frac{5}{3} = 1 \frac{2}{3} \, \text{feet}
\]

So, the height of the basketball player's son is **1 \( \frac{2}{3} \) feet**.
