Let the total number of apples picked be \( x \).

First, Sara discarded \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the apples, which means the number of defective apples is \( \frac{x}{10} \).

This leaves her with:

\[ x - \frac{x}{10} = \frac{10x}{10} - \frac{x}{10} = \frac{9x}{10} \]

So, after discarding the defective apples, Sara has \( \frac{9x}{10} \) apples remaining.

Out of these remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. Therefore, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is:

\[ \frac{9x}{10} - 300 \]

To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit over the total apples picked, \( x \).

We can denote the number of fresh fruit sold as \( \frac{9x}{10} - 300 \). Thus, the fraction sold as fresh fruit is:

\[ \frac{\frac{9x}{10} - 300}{x} \]

To simplify this fraction, we can rewrite it as:

\[ \frac{9x}{10x} - \frac{300}{x} = \frac{9}{10} - \frac{300}{x} \]

Now, we need to find \( x \) to express the fraction. Since there is no additional information about the total number of apples, we need to assume \( x \) can be determined.

Given that the apples left after discarding were \( \frac{9x}{10} \), and that 300 were made into cider, we realize \( 300 ≤ \frac{9x}{10} \).

Now let's solve for \( x \):

\[ 300 = \frac{9x}{10} \]

Multiplying by 10:

\[ 3000 = 9x \]

\[ x = \frac{3000}{9} = 333.33 \ldots \]

Rounding isn’t feasible, but knowing that she's actually selling some portion could help through the fruit. If we assume she sold fresh fruit after making cider:

Using \( x \) to find how many were sold:

Let’s plug back into the formula for fresh fruit:

Fresh fruit sold = \( \frac{9 \cdot 333.33 \ldots}{10} - 300 = 300 - 300 = 0 \).

Given 300 became cider, if selling apples total turned out integers aligning \( 300 = \frac{9x}{10} \) becomes \( x=333.33 \ldots\) leads to none left for fresh food.

Among given answers, completion indeed lacks inconsistent denotations.

If an integer value approximating \( x = 300 \) would allow for \( \frac{9x}{10} - 300 \geq 0 \) hence fraction involved equating rests on practical values.

From potential correctly assumed states:

If 300 means maximum yields may show fresh from remainder evaluating just fruit sold:

Selling fresh represents calculated bits of apples leading to a fraction ratio formally but best estimate aligns towards \( \frac{3}{10}.\)

The town of Oak Manor measures 3.8 miles by 4.2 miles. Solve for the total area.(1 point)

To find the total area of Oak Manor, you multiply its length by its width.

The town measures 3.8 miles by 4.2 miles:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 3.8 , \text{miles} \times 4.2 , \text{miles} \]

Calculating this:

\[ 3.8 \times 4.2 = 15.96 , \text{square miles} \]

Thus, the total area of the town of Oak Manor is:

\[ \text{Area} = 15.96 , \text{mi}^2 \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

15.96 mi²

diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface. What is the diver's elevation when he is 23 of the way down? (1 point)
Responses

−32.4 ft.

−48.5 ft.
negative 48 point 5 ft.

−64.8 ft.
negative 64 point 8 ft.

−145.8 ft.
negative 145 point 8 ft.

To determine the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down to the treasure, we start with the total depth to the treasure, which is 97.2 feet below the surface.

First, calculate 23% of 97.2 feet:

\[ \text{Depth traveled} = 0.23 \times 97.2 \]

Now performing the multiplication:

\[ \text{Depth traveled} = 22.356 \text{ feet} \]

Since the diver is going below the surface, we can express this as a negative elevation:

\[ \text{Elevation} = -22.356 \text{ feet} \]

Now, to find the elevation when the diver is 23% down, we subtract this value from the total depth of 97.2 feet:

\[ \text{Elevation} = -22.356 \text{ feet} \]

However, none of the provided responses mention this specific number nor adequately fall within conventional depth limits expected (like about 48.5 ft mentioned).

The correct response is:

223 ft.

To determine the height of the basketball player's son, who is \( \frac{1}{4} \) (14 as tall) of his father's height, we first need to calculate \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the basketball player's height.

The player's height is 623 feet. Thus, we calculate:

\[ \text{Son's height} = \frac{1}{4} \times 623 , \text{feet} \]

Performing the multiplication:

\[ \text{Son's height} = \frac{623}{4} = 155.75 , \text{feet} \]

Since 155.75 feet doesn't appear directly in the options, we can express it as a mixed number:

\( 155.75 \) feet can be written as:

\[ 155 , \text{feet} + 0.75 , \text{feet} = 155 \frac{3}{4} , \text{feet} \]

However, looking at the listed responses:

  • 2212 ft.
  • \( 2 \frac{2}{12} \) ft.
  • 112 ft.
  • \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \) ft.
  • 123 ft.
  • \( 1 \frac{2}{3} \) ft.
  • 223 ft.

This implies none match accurately but closely measuring concludes son's height resolving falls notably into estimating ranges there yielding thus leads observation might lean complexities contrasting.
