Question

Mr. Taylor collected apples on Friday. On Saturday, he collected 2/3 of the amount collected on Friday. How many bushels of apples did Mr. Taylor collected

Answer 1

Mr. Taylor collected apples on Friday.

Let x be the number of apples collected

On Saturday, he collected 2/3 of the amount collected on Friday

Number of apples collected on saturday = 2/3 of the amount collected on Friday

Number of apples collected on saturday = 2/3 of x

From the given table:

Amount of apple collected on Friday is 3 2/3

Number of apples collected on saturday = 2/3 of 3 2/3

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)of\text{ 3}(2)/(3)=(2)/(3)*(3*3+2)/(3) \\ (2)/(3)of\text{ 3}(2)/(3)=(2)/(3)*(11)/(3) \\ (2)/(3)of\text{ 3}(2)/(3)=(22)/(9) \end{gathered}`

Express 22/9 into mixed fraction

Divide 22 by 9

`(22)/(9)=2(4)/(9)`

Answer : D) 2 4/9
