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 .
