Apple Production and Inequalities

The video tutorial discusses the apple production of Old Maple Farms and River Orchards, highlighting that Old Maple Farms typically grows about 1,000 more apples than River Orchards. Due to cold weather, both farms experienced a one-third reduction in harvest. They compensated by purchasing equal quantities of apples from neighboring states. The tutorial uses mathematical analysis to show that even after these purchases, Old Maple Farms still has more apples than River Orchards.

What is the approximate difference in apple production between Old Maple Farms and River Orchards in a normal year?

• 2,000 apples

• 1,000 apples

• 1,500 apples

• 500 apples

How did the cold weather affect the apple harvest at both farms?

• Remained the same

• Increased by a third

• Doubled

• Decreased by a third

If the production is reduced by a third, what fraction of the original production remains?

• 3/4

• 2/3

• 1/2

• 1/3

What mathematical operation is used to represent the reduction in apple production?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

On a number line, if M is greater than R, what happens to their positions after both are reduced by a third?

• M remains greater than R

• M and R become equal

• R becomes greater than M

• M becomes less than R

What is the purpose of using a number line in this context?

• To compare the weather conditions

• To show the exact number of apples

• To illustrate the inequality between M and R

• To calculate the total apples purchased

How did both farms address the shortfall in apple production?

• By purchasing apples from neighboring states

• By increasing their own production

• By reducing prices

• By selling fewer apples

What is the effect of adding the same quantity of apples to both farms?

• It makes the quantities equal

• It reverses the inequality

• It maintains the inequality

• It changes the inequality

What does the variable 'a' represent in the context of the apple purchase?

• The apples lost due to cold weather

• The apples purchased by both farms

• The apples purchased by Old Maple Farms

• The total apples produced

After purchasing apples, which farm ends up with more apples?

• Old Maple Farms

• Neither farm has apples

• River Orchards

• Both have the same amount
