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

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
