Answer 1

Answer: 13

Explanation:

This is the correct question:

Molly bought a large basket of 60 apples. When she got home, she found 4 rotten ones. If she goes back and buys 200 more apples, how many rotten apples would she expect there to be?

From 60 apples, there are 4 rotten apples. This gives a fraction of:

= 4/60

= 0.06667

Therefore, when she buys 200 apples, tge number of rotten ones expected will be:

= 0.06667 × 200

= 13.334

= 13 approximately
