Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\boxed{72}}$

Explanation:

First, find the total number of apples.  $6*1200=7200$

Now, multiply this by the probability of picking a rotten apple, which is $\frac{1}{100}$.  This is also the same as dividing by $100$, or moving the decimal point two places to the left.  $7200*\frac{1}{100}=72$

This means that based on the probability given, $72$ rotten apples will be picked.
