Mary picked 24 apples. She used 2/6 of the apples to make apple sauce. How many apples did Mary use to make apple sauce?

Mary used 8 apples.

24 ÷ 6 = 4.  4x2=8.  8/24 = 2/6.

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
