Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of apples in a box = [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds
= [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex] pounds
Apples used by Sage = [tex]\frac{1}{5}th[/tex] Part of the total amount
= [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]th part of the apples in the box
= [tex]\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{11}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{11}{20}[/tex] pounds
Therefore, Sage used [tex]\frac{11}{20}[/tex] pounds of the apples.
Option (2) will be the answer.
