Answer 1

$\textbf{\huge{ANSWER:}}$

1 dozen = 12 fruits

$\tt{Given:}$

$\frac{1}{3}$ of 6 dozen fruits = Apples

Total fruits = 6 × 12 = $\textbf{72}$

Thus, if we let the apples to be = x

=》 $\frac{1}{3}$ of 72 = x

=》 $\textbf{24 = x}$

Now, we're given that the left fruits are bananas. Therefore;

Bananas = 72 - 24

=》 $\textbf{48}$

In dozen, if 1 dozen = 12 bananas;

48 bananas = 48×$\frac{1}{12}$

=》 4 dozens

Answer 2

Answer:

4 dozens

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question we can say that the fruit seller had 6 dozens of fruits in his cart.

⇒ 12 × 6 = 72 fruits

So out of these 6 dozen fruits, 1/3 of them are apples.

⇒ Apples = 1/3 × 6 × 12 = 1/3 × 72 = 24 apples

Hence the fruit cart had 24 apples out of 72 fruits.

It also mentions rest are bananas.

So remaining number of fruits are 72 - 24 = 48 fruits.

Hence there are 48 bananas.

Since 1 dozen is 12, 48 fruits will give out to be 4 dozens.

Hence there are 4 dozens of bananas in the cart.

Hope it helps !!
