Answer 1

Answer:

As many as 7 apples or as few as 4 apples could be green.

Step-by-step explanation:

Laura picks 7 apples.Some apples are red and some are green. Fewer than 4 of the apples are red. How many of laura's apples could be green?​

x = total number of red apples

y = total number of green apples

Fewer than 4 of the apples are red.

x<4

That means that 3 or less of the apples are red

So, 7 - 3 = 4

That means that 4 or more apples are green.

7≥y≥4

That means that as many as 7 apples or as few as 4 apples could be green.
