Ripe mangoes=1/2 of total

To find:

The number of ripe mangoes

Solution:

The number of ripe mangoes is 30.

We can find the number by following the given process-

We know that half of the total mangoes are ripe.

So, the ripe mangoes=1/2 of the total number of mangoes.

The total number of mangoes=60

We will obtain the number of ripe mangoes by multiplying 1/2 with 60.

=60/2

=(30×2)/2

=30 mangoes

Therefore, the number of ripe mangoes is 30.
