Answer 2

13/60 part of basket are oranges.

Apples, mangoes, bananas, and oranges are 80, 60, 48, and 52 respectively.

Given:

• In a basket of fruits 1/3 are apples ,
• 1/4 are mangoes,
• 1/5 are bananas and
• the remaining are oranges .

To find:

• What part of the basket of fruit is oranges ? If the total number of fruits is 240, how many of each are there in the basket.

Solution:

Concept to be used:

Assume the basket as a whole.

Step 1:

As the basket is a whole.

Let the part of basket where oranges are keep are x.

So,

$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} + x = 1$

or

$x = 1 - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5}$

or

$x = \frac{60 - 20 - 15 - 12}{60}$

or

$\bf x = \frac{13}{60}$

Step 2:

Find the number of fruits.

As total fruits are 240.

Find total number of apples.

$Apples = \frac{1}{3} \times 240$

or

$\bf Apples = 80$

Find total mangoes in the bucket.

$Mangoes = \frac{1}{4} \times 240$

or

$\bf Mangoes = 60$

Find total number of bananas.

$Bananas = \frac{1}{5} \times 240$

or

$\bf Bananas = 48$

Find total numbers of oranges.

$Oranges = \frac{13}{60} \times 240$

or

$\bf Oranges = 52$

Thus,

13/60 part of basket are oranges.

Apples, mangoes, bananas, and oranges are 80, 60, 48, and 52 respectively.
