Weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an apple=weight of an orange -10% weight of an orange

a.By what percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
We should find the connection between grapefruit and an apple. We know the connection between the weight of a grapefruit and an orange, we know the connection between an orange and an apple, so this means we know the connection between a grapefruit and an apple.

weight of an grapefruit=weight of an orange+8% weight of an orange
weight of an orange=weight of an apple +10% weight of an apple

-> weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple + 8%(weight of an apple+10% weight of an apple)= weight of an apple + 18% weight of an apple + 2% weight of an apple= weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple

b.By what percentage is the apple lighter than the grapefruit?
weight of an grapefruit=weight of an apple + 20% weight of an apple

-> The apple ts 20% lighter than the grapefruit.

The diagram below shows circle with radii OA

Finger [1]

Answer:

Length of arc AB = 4π

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to get the arc length is given by,

Length of arc = $\frac{\theta}{360}(2\pi r)$

Here, θ = central angle subtended by the arc AB

r = Radius of the circle

By substituting the values in the formula,

Therefore, length of arc AB = $\frac{120}{360}(2\pi )(6)$

= 40π
