Jean and fred are making apple crisp. the recipe calls for 8 apples to be peeled and cut into pieces. however, as fred and jean work, they eat pieces of apple. fred eats 2/9 of each apple that he peels, and jean eats 1/9 of each apple she peels. assuming they each peel and cut four apples, how many apples will they have left over for the recipe after they peel eight apples?

i.e. six and two-third apples will be left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred eats of each apple that he peels and Jean eats of each apple that he peels.

So, if Fred peels 4 apples then he eats of one apple.

And, if Jean peels 4 apples then he eats of one apple.

Hence, total they peel (4 + 4) = 8 apples but they eat total apples

Therefore, they will have left {Since 20 = 6 × 3 + 2 } apples for the recipe after they peel eight apples. (Answer)

you have 6 cupcakes

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
