I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
Each appple has eight slices.
Try 30/8. Whatever you have left over counts as one apple

Answer 2

You should have 6 slices as the remainder. Since the apple is still used, it will be added to your other apples.

Answer 3

30/8 = 3.something, so you will have 4 apples used.

Answer 4

Wait sry, just saw the choices. Actually you will have 3.75 apples used, so that is three and three fourths.
