Mr. Taylor collected apples on Friday.
Let x be the number of apples collected
On Saturday, he collected 2/3 of the amount collected on Friday
Number of apples collected on saturday = 2/3 of the amount collected on Friday
Number of apples collected on saturday = 2/3 of x
From the given table:
Amount of apple collected on Friday is 3 2/3
Number of apples collected on saturday = 2/3 of 3 2/3
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}of\text{ 3}\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{3\times3+2}{3} \\ \frac{2}{3}of\text{ 3}\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{11}{3} \\ \frac{2}{3}of\text{ 3}\frac{2}{3}=\frac{22}{9} \end{gathered}[/tex]Express 22/9 into mixed fraction
Divide 22 by 9
[tex]\frac{22}{9}=2\frac{4}{9}[/tex]Answer : D) 2 4/9
