$\huge{\red{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}$

Given:

400 fruits

0.4 = 2/5 are mangoes

7/20 are oranges

To find:

Number of Watermelon and how many more oranges than watermelon

Method:

Out of 400 fruits

$\\ Mangoes = \dfrac{2}{5} \times 400 \\ \\ = 160 \: Mangoes$

$\\ Oranges = \dfrac{7}{20} \times 400 \\ \\ = 140 \: Oranges$

$\\ Total fruits = Mangoes+ \\ Oranges+ Watermelon \\ \\ 400 = 160 + 140 + Watermelon \\ \\ 400 = 300 + Watermelon \\ \\ 400 - 300 = Watermelon \\ \\ 100 = Watermelon$

$\\ Therefore, \: 100 \: \: Watermelons$

$Oranges - Watermelons \\ \\ = 140 - 100 \\ \\ = 40 \\ \\ \: 40 \: more \: oranges \: than \\ \: watermelons$

Required Answer:

Therefore, there are 40 more oranges than watermelons

Methods used to solve:

# To find number of fraction

= Fraction × total

Total chocolates are 20. What is 2/5 chocolate?

--> 2/5 × 20 = 8 chocolates

# There are 12 items. 5 balls, 4 bats then how many helmets?

--> 5+4+helmets = 12

9+ helmets = 12

Helmets = 12-9

Helmets = 3

# How many more balls than bat?

Balls - Bats = 5-4 = 1

1 more ball than bat
