To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to determine the number of apples that were not discarded or made into cider.
Since Sara discarded 1/10 of the apples, the fraction of apples remaining is 1 - 1/10 = 9/10.
Then, out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. Therefore, the fraction of apples that were not made into cider is 9/10 - 300/10 = 6/10.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 6/10 = 3/5.
The correct response is 3/5.
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?
