Question

There are 12dozen banans in the basket 5/24of them are rotten and 1/3of them are be sent back. How many bananas can be used

Answer 1

Answer:

★ Used bananas = 66 ★

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• There are 12 dozen bananas
• 5/24 of total bananas are rotten
• 1/3 of total bananas are sent back

To Find:

• Remaining bananas which can be used

Solution: We know that 1 dozen = 12 bananas

∴ 12 dozen = 12 x 12 = 144 bananas.

A/q

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Rotten bananas = 5/24 of 144

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Rotten bananas = 5 x 6 = 30

• Bananas which are to be sent back = 1/3 of total •

$\small\implies{\sf }$ No. of sent back bananas = 1/3 of 144

$\small\implies{\sf }$ No. of sent back bananas = 48

∴ Used bananas= Total bananas – ( Rotten + Sent back bananas )

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Used bananas = 144 – ( 30 + 48 )

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 144 – 78 = 66

Hence, Used bananas are 66

or, 66/144 = 11/24
