Answer 1

Answer:

3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

12dozen I. e. 1dozen =12thinngs

so, 12×12=144

so 144mangoes are there.

20were bad

so.144-20=124

3/4were sold so, 124×3/4 =93..

so, 93mangoes were sold ..

so.unsold mangoes =124-93=31

ratio of sold mangoes /unsold mangoes=93/31=3:1

therefore ratio is 3:1
