Lets go from reverse..

the 3rd person bought half of the remaining apple and half an apple.. So possibly the number of apple he bought is one.

the second person bought twice the third person so he bought two.

Similarly the first person bought four apples.

Therefore, there were totally four apple in the basket...

If there are three apples and you take away 2 how many do you have?

Apples you start with:* 3 apples Apples you take away:* 2 apples Apples you are left with:* 3 apples If you have three apples, and if youand only you were to take away only 2 apples, then you would still have all three of the apples because you are the one that is doing the removing. As long as you don't eat, give, or throw them away, you still would be considered to have them since you are the taker.It's a trick question.Now if someone else were to take away the two of the apples, then in this case, you would be left with only one apple.(You is considered to be one specific person.)


How many colors of apples are there?

On the question of "Why apples are different colors?" there are three main patterns. Green apples are green because they contain the green pigment, chlorophyll. Yellow apples start out green but the apple stops making chlorophyll as it matures. The chlorophyll it contains eventually degrades to reveal yellow carotenoid pigments that were there all along but being masked by the chlorophyll. Red apples follow the same pattern as yellow apples but start making a red pigment called anthocyanin. So basically, all apples are some shade of red, green, or yellow, or a combination thereof.their are three colours of an appleone :REDtwo :GREENthree :YELLOW

Three boxes are labels apples oranges and apples and oranges you can only select one fruit from onle one box from which box should you pick and how will that help you to correctly label the ot?

I believe this question should also stipulate that the boxes are incorrectly labelled, then my solution works (I think)! It's easier if you number the boxes:- The box labelled the oranges is box no.1 " " " " apples " " " 2 " " " " apples & oranges is box no. 3 Now remembering that box no.1 is incorrectly labelled "oranges" Box no.2 is incorrectly labelled "apples" and Box no.3 is incorrectly labelled "apples & oranges". Take a sample from box no.3....if it is an apple, then box no.3 holds apples. Box no.2 labelled "apples" is wrong so this box must contain oranges and this leaves box no1 which must hold apples& oranges. This works in reverse (if you pick an orange from box no.3), so you always start with box no.3

Does a green apple rot faster than a red apple?

I actually did an expirament on this topic. Red apples rot faster then green apples. This is due to the acidity in the green apple that keeps the green apple fresher. If you cut a green apple and a red apple in half, you will find that the red apple will start to brown slightly before the green apple.


Can chickens eat apple cores?

Yes, as a treat apples are fine for chickens. Some will say it is best not to feed them too many apples as the seed of an apple has a small amount of arsenic in it. I have an orchard on my property and in the fall, the chickens run there first thing in the morning. Never had a chicken drop dead under an apple tree. They go for the insects on the fallen apples first but soon start eating the apples. We don't get to make much cider around here since a flock of 50 chickens can clean up a nights worth of "grounders" pretty quick.
