Answer:

7 apples into 2 pieces and 4 apples into 4 pieces

Explanation:

if you split 7 apples into 2 pieces each than you'l have 14 slices. You need 30 though which means you need 16 more. so you split 4 into 4 pieces. and the number of apples we used is 7 and 4 which make up 11. So this answer works
