Question

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)

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The total number of apples picked was 110 + 300 = <<110+300=410>>410.

Thus, the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit is (410 - 300) / 410 = 110 / 410, or 11/41. Answer: \boxed{\frac{11}{41}}

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The total area of Oak Manor is obtained by multiplying the length and width of the town: 3.8 miles × 4.2 miles = 15.96 square miles. Answer: \boxed{15.96}.

Answer 4

A 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)

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we multiply 97.2 (the total depth) by 0.23: 97.2 feet × 0.23 = 22.356 feet. Answer: \boxed{22.356} feet.

Answer 6

A basketball player is 623 feet tall. His infant son is 14 as tall. How tall is his son?(1 point)

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out how tall the basketball player's son is, we need to multiply the player's height by the factor by which his son's height compares to his.

His son is 1/14 times taller than him, so we multiply 623 feet by 1/14:

623 feet * 1/14 = 44.5 feet.

Therefore, the son is \boxed{44.5} feet tall.

Answer 8

When will a fossil be used in finding the absolute age of rocks?(1 point)

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

A fossil can be used in finding the absolute age of rocks through a process called relative dating. Relative dating involves comparing the age of the rock containing the fossil to the age of other rocks or fossils in the surrounding area. This method can provide an estimate of the fossil's age but does not give an exact date. To find the absolute age of rocks, scientists use radiometric dating techniques that analyze the radioactive decay of elements within the rocks. So, a fossil can be used in finding the absolute age of rocks when it is used in conjunction with radiometric dating.

To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to first determine the total number of apples picked, and then subtract the number of apples used for making cider.

Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. Start with the total number of apples picked: Let's call this value "Total".

2. Subtract the number of apples discarded as defective: We know that 110 apples were discarded, so this leaves us with Total - 110.

3. Subtract the number of apples used for making cider: We know that 300 apples were used for cider, so this leaves us with (Total - 110) - 300.

4. Calculate the number of apples sold as fresh fruit: This would be the remaining amount after subtracting the cider apples, which is (Total - 110) - 300.

Now that we have the number of apples sold as fresh fruit, we can express it as a fraction of the total number of apples picked:

Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = (Number of apples sold as fresh fruit) / (Total number of apples picked)

Substituting the values we found above, the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit is:

Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = [(Total - 110) - 300] / Total

This fraction will be the answer to the question.
