Answer 1

Answer:

The part of the produce sold at the market that is red delicious apples is = $\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of apples = x

Apples sold are 2/5 of all the Produce sold.

Apples sold = $\frac{2}{5} x$

Of all the apples that are sold, 1/2 are red delicious apples.

So red delicious apples = $\frac{1}{2}$  $\frac{2}{5} x$

Red delicious apples = $\frac{1}{5 } x$  

The part of the produce sold at the market that is red delicious apples is = $\frac{1}{5}$
