Answer 2

Given,

Jack had 360 oranges for sale.

He sold ⁴/₉ of them.

To find,

Number of remaining oranges.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

First of all, we have to calculate the number of sold oranges. For that, we need to multiply the fractional amount of sold oranges with total number of oranges.

So,

Sold oranges = 360 × ⁴/₉ = 40×4 = 160

Now,

Remaining oranges

= Total oranges - Sold oranges

= 360 - 160

= 200

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, 200 oranges were left.
