Question

4. Lily bought 24 bananas from the market. However, one-fourth of them were rotten. How many bananas were not rotten?

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

18 bananas will not be rotten

24÷6=4

1/4 are rotten means 6 bananas are rotten

24-6=18

ANSWER = 18

Answer 2

Given: Number of bananas bought by Lily = 24

           One-fourth of these bananas were rotten

To find: How many bananas were not rotten

Solution: According to the given problem,

Total number of bananas bought by Lily = 24

Number of rotten bananas = 1/4 of 24

                                              = 1/4 x 24 = 6

Number of bananas that were not rotten = Total number of bananas - Number of rotten bananas

                                 = 24 - 6 = 18

Therefore, 18 bananas were not rotten out of 24 bananas bought by Lily.
