If one store is selling 3/4 of a bushel of apples for $9, and another stir is selling 2/3 of a bushel of apples for $9, which store has the better deal?

When solving problems like these, the easiest thing to do is either turn both fractions into decimals or into fractions with a common denominator.

So 3/4 = 0.75 OR 9/12

And 2/3 = .666 OR 8/12

In solving the actual question, you're looking for the store that gives the better deal, meaning that they sell MORE apples for LESS.

The first store sells 9/12 of a bushel for $9 and the second store sells 8/12 of a bushel for $8.

The answer is the first store which sells 3/4 of a bushel for $9.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
