To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to find the fraction of apples that were not discarded or made into cider.
Let's start by finding the fraction of apples that were not discarded.
If Sara discarded 1/10 of the apples, then 9/10 of the apples remained.
Next, let's find the fraction of apples that were not made into cider.
Out of the remaining 9/10 of the apples, 300 were made into cider. This means that 9/10 - 300/total apples were not made into cider.
To find the fraction of apples that were sold as fresh fruit, we subtract the fraction of apples that were not made into cider from the fraction of apples that were not discarded:
9/10 - 300/total apples = (9-300/10)/total apples = (9-30)/10 /total apples = 630/10 /total apples = 63/total apples
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 63/total apples. The specific value of total apples is not given in the question, so the answer cannot be determined.
The correct response is: not enough information.

To find the total area of the town of Oak Manor, we need to multiply the length and width of the town.
The length of Oak Manor is given as 3.8 miles and the width is given as 4.2 miles.
To find the total area, you would multiply the length by the width:
3.8 miles * 4.2 miles = 15.96 mi²
Therefore, the total area of Oak Manor is 15.96 mi².
The correct response is: 15.96 mi².
The length of Oak Manor is given as 3.8 miles and the width is given as 4.2 miles.
To find the total area, you would multiply the length by the width:
3.8 miles * 4.2 miles = 15.96 mi²
Therefore, the total area of Oak Manor is 15.96 mi².
The correct response is: 15.96 mi².

To find the diver's elevation when they are 23% of the way down, we need to find 23% of 97.2 feet.
23% of 97.2 feet can be calculated by multiplying 23% by 97.2:
(23/100) * 97.2 = 0.23 * 97.2 = 22.356
Therefore, when the diver is 23% of the way down, their elevation will be 22.356 feet.
The correct response is: 22.356 ft.
23% of 97.2 feet can be calculated by multiplying 23% by 97.2:
(23/100) * 97.2 = 0.23 * 97.2 = 22.356
Therefore, when the diver is 23% of the way down, their elevation will be 22.356 feet.
The correct response is: 22.356 ft.

To find the diver's elevation when they are 23% of the way down, we need to subtract 23% of 97.2 feet from the surface elevation.
23% of 97.2 feet can be calculated by multiplying 23% by 97.2:
(23/100) * 97.2 = 0.23 * 97.2 = 22.356
To find the diver's elevation, we subtract 22.356 feet from the surface elevation (which is 0 feet since it's the starting point):
0 - 22.356 = -22.356
Therefore, when the diver is 23% of the way down, their elevation will be -22.356 feet.
The correct response is: -22.356 ft.
23% of 97.2 feet can be calculated by multiplying 23% by 97.2:
(23/100) * 97.2 = 0.23 * 97.2 = 22.356
To find the diver's elevation, we subtract 22.356 feet from the surface elevation (which is 0 feet since it's the starting point):
0 - 22.356 = -22.356
Therefore, when the diver is 23% of the way down, their elevation will be -22.356 feet.
The correct response is: -22.356 ft.

To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to subtract 2/3 of 97.2 feet from the surface elevation.
2/3 of 97.2 feet can be calculated by multiplying 2/3 by 97.2:
(2/3) * 97.2 = (2/3) * (97.2/1) = (2 * 97.2) / (3 * 1) = 194.4 / 3 = 64.8
Therefore, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, his elevation will be -64.8 feet.
The correct answer is: C. -64.8 ft.
2/3 of 97.2 feet can be calculated by multiplying 2/3 by 97.2:
(2/3) * 97.2 = (2/3) * (97.2/1) = (2 * 97.2) / (3 * 1) = 194.4 / 3 = 64.8
Therefore, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, his elevation will be -64.8 feet.
The correct answer is: C. -64.8 ft.
item 4 = -64.8
Apologies for the incorrect answer.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to subtract 2/3 of 97.2 feet from the surface elevation:
2/3 * 97.2 = 64.8 feet
Therefore, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, his elevation will be -64.8 feet.
The correct answer is: C. -64.8 ft.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to subtract 2/3 of 97.2 feet from the surface elevation:
2/3 * 97.2 = 64.8 feet
Therefore, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, his elevation will be -64.8 feet.
The correct answer is: C. -64.8 ft.
