Answer: Hello there!
We know that a bag of apples weighs (7 + 7/8) lb and costs $10.88
But 1/18 of the apples are rotten, if we remove the rotten apples, we still have the other 17/18 portion of the bag to pay.
then; if the full bag costs $10.88, how much does it cost a 17/18 of the bag?
this is (17/18)*$10.88 = $10.28
Then if you remove 1/18 of the apples, the bag costs 10.28 dollars.
notice that I did not use the weight of the apples, in a lot of math problems you will have more information than the needed, and you need to know when the information is useful and when it is not.
The average change in field position per run is -2 1/4 yards. This is found by dividing the total yardage lost (6 3/4 yards) by the number of runs (3).
The subject of this problem is calculating the average. In this case, we are looking for the average yardage lost by the running back on each run. The running back for the Bulldogs football team has carried the ball 3 times for a total loss of 6 3/4 yards.
To find the average change in field position on each run, divide the total loss by the number of runs:
Therefore, -2 1/4 yards is the average change in field position on each run.
