Lori and Craig work in an apple orchard. One week, Craig picks 459 apples, and Lori picks four times as many apples as Craig. If Lori and Craig arrange all of the apples in three equal groups, how many are in each group?

  765

Step-by-step explanation:

Craig picks 4 times 459 apples, or 1836 apples. The total number Lori and Craig picked is ...

  total apples = 459 +1836 = 2295

Each of the three equal groups will have 1/3 this number of apples, so will have ...

  1/3 × 2295 = 765 . . . apples

There are 765 apples in each group.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

i will with my problems and all the other things that need to   be on by the way
