Answer:

30 bad apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

1% is equivalent to two bad apples because 200 is the 100%.

According to this statement, multiply 2 x 15.

THERE ARE 3 BAGS OF APPLES WEIGHING A TOTAL OF 22 1/2 POUNDS. TWO OF THE BAGS WEIGH 6 3/8 POUNDS AND 3 1/4 POUNDS. HOW MUCH DOES

I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.

first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{22\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{22\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{51}{8}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the two bags}}{\cfrac{51}{8}+\cfrac{13}{4}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is 8}\implies \cfrac{(1)51+(2)13}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{51+26}{8}\implies \cfrac{77}{8}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{total}{\cfrac{45}{2}}~-~\stackrel{two~bags}{\cfrac{77}{8}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is again 8}\implies \cfrac{(4)45-(1)77}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{180~~-~~77}{8}\implies \cfrac{103}{8}\implies \stackrel{third~bag}{12\frac{7}{8}}$

It took a race car driver 3 hours and 15 minutes to go 500 miles. What was his mean rate of speed, to the nearest tenth of a mil

WINSTONCH [101]

In order to calculate rate or average speed you divide miles by time

I got 153.8 by dividing 500 by 3.25 (the .25 is because 15 minutes is 1/4 of 60) hope this helped!!

4 miles because there are 5280 ft in one mile so if you were to multiply that by 4 you would get 21120 ft

Yuri [45]

Including Jamiz, there are 14 girls in the class. If this if half of the total number of pupils (as half are girls, the other half being boys) the total number of students is 14 × 2 = 28 students
