  • 1/6 .

Given :- Anjali 's aunt gave her 5/6 oranges.

To Find :- what fraction of oranges were left in the basket ?

Solution :-

Let us assume that, total oranges in the basket were x .

So,

→ Anjali 's aunt gave her = (5/6) of total oranges in the basket

→ Anjali 's aunt gave her = (5/6) of x

→ Anjali 's aunt gave her = (5x/6)

then,

→ Oranges left in the basket = Total oranges - Anjali 's aunt gave her .

→ Oranges left in the basket = x - (5x/6)

→ Oranges left in the basket = (6x - 5x)/6

→ Oranges left in the basket = (x/6)

therefore,

→ Required fraction = Oranges left in the basket / Total oranges in the basket

→ Required fraction = (x/6) / x

→ Required fraction = (x/6) × (1/x)

→ Required fraction = (1/6) (Ans.)

Hence, (1/6) fraction of oranges were left in the basket .
