Total no of mangoes= 60
Fraction of mangoes eaten=1/12
No of mangoes eaten= 60×1/12 = 5
Remaining mangoes= 60-5=55
Fraction of mangoes sold= 7/4
No of mangoes sold= 55×7/4=96.25
Since, mango is a countable object its answer cannot come in Decimal point.
There is some mistake in the question.
Kindly, look through it.

mangoes=60
eaten= 1/12 of 60=5
left=55
sold= 7/4 of 55= 13.75×7= 96.25
left= -41.25
question is definitely wrong because you cannot have a negative no. f mangoes or a decimal no. of mangoes also when you have a no. of objects of can't take a fraction of the no. that is bigger that the number itself i.e. 7/4 improper fraction bigger than 1
