Answer 1

Answer:20

Explanation:

Answer 2

20 caramel apples

Explanation:

First we should make all of these have a common denominator. We could make these be 1/5 = 6/30, 1/3 = 10/30, 3/10 = 9/30. Now we can add them all up. 6 + 10 + 9 = 25/30. Now, to figure out how many apples is 1/30. 120 divided by 30 = 4. Now we can do 4*25 because that's how many non-sprinkle apples there are. This is 100. 120 - 100 = 20. You could have also done 4*5 because there were 5/30 sprinkle apples, and gotten the same answer.
