3. Pete is making 8 identical fruit baskets as gifts. Each basket contains some apples and
12 oranges. Pete uses a total of 168 pieces
of fruit to make the baskets. Determine the
number of apples that are in each basket.
​

9 apples per basket

Peter is making 8 identical fruit baskets. If the baskets are identical, that means they all have the same amount of fruit in them. If I know how many apples were used, then I can divide that by the total number of baskets (8) to find out how many apples were used per basket.

12 oranges were used per basket. There were 8 baskets. 12 x 8 = 96, so 96 oranges were used in total.

168 - 96 = 72

There were 72 apples used in total.

There were the same amount of apples in each of the 8 fruit baskets. 72/8 = 9, which means that there were 9 apples per fruit basket.

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
