Answer:
farmers market sold 4/9 plums in bushel
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that at the beginning of the day we have 7/9 of a bushel of plums and that after a while there are 1/3 of a bushel of plums, so to calculate how many were sold we have to subtract the bushel of plums that were left from the initial ones
7/9 - 1/3
if we want to do this subtraction we have to find a fraction equivalent to 1/3 that can be subtracted from 7/9
1/3 = (1 * 3) / (3 * 3) = 3/9
now we are just the top and leave the denominator the same as before
7/9 - 3/9 = 4/9
Use the pythagorean theorm
16^2 + 12^2 = c^2
256 + 144 = c^2
400 = c^2
c = 20 feet or a
