Answer» According to the QUESTION we can say that the fruit seller had 6 dozens of fruits in his cart. ⇒ 12 × 6 = 72 fruits So out of these 6 dozen fruits, 1/3 of them are APPLES. ⇒ Apples = 1/3 × 6 × 12 = 1/3 × 72 = 24 apples Hence the fruit cart had 24 apples out of 72 fruits. It also mentions rest are bananas. So remaining number of fruits are 72 - 24 = 48 fruits. Hence there are 48 bananas. Since 1 dozen is 12, 48 fruits will GIVE out to be 4 dozens. Hence there are 4 dozens of bananas in the cart. You got your answer |
