There are 7/8
cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms. Johnson used 1/2
of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake. How much sugar did she use? (1 point)
To find the amount of sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the 7/8 cups of sugar by 1/2:
(7/8) * (1/2) = 7/16
So, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar.
How much did Mr. Romanov pay for 9.3 gallons of gas at $3.30 a gallon?(1 point)
To find how much Mr. Romanov paid, we need to multiply the number of gallons (9.3) by the price per gallon ($3.30):
9.3 gallons * $3.30/gallon = $30.69
So, Mr. Romanov paid $30.69 for 9.3 gallons of gas.
One-third of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play an instrument. Two-fifths of those campers play the guitar. What fraction of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play the guitar? (1 point)
To find the fraction of campers that play the guitar, we need to multiply the fractions representing the percentage of campers that play an instrument (1/3) and the percentage of those campers that play the guitar (2/5):
(1/3) * (2/5) = 2/15
Therefore, 2/15 of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play the guitar.
How-to books make up 0.3 of the books in the school library. Of these, 0.2 deal with carpentry and 0.4 deal with electronics.
0.3×0.4=0.12

The correct interpretation of the answer 0.12 in the equation above is "the portion of the how-to books that are about either carpentry or electronics".
Sara discarded 110 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? (1 point)

To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to subtract the number of discarded apples and the number of apples made into cider from the total number of apples picked.
Total Apples Picked - Discarded Apples - Apples Made into Cider = Apples Sold as Fresh Fruit
Let's assume the total number of apples picked is "x".
So, x - 110 - 300 = Fresh Fruit Apples
Simplifying further, x - 410 = Fresh Fruit Apples
The fraction of total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is (Fresh Fruit Apples) / (Total Apples Picked) = (x - 410) / x.
We don't have the value of "x" in the question, so the information provided is not enough to determine the fraction. Thus, the correct answer is "not enough information".
