To find out how many mangoes remained after the man shared with Bob and Candy, we can follow these steps:
1. Start with the total number of mangoes the man had: 16 mangoes.
2. Calculate how many mangoes he gave to Bob: 1/4 * 16 = 4 mangoes.
3. Subtract the number of mangoes given to Bob from the total: 16 - 4 = 12 mangoes.
4. Calculate how many mangoes he gave to Candy: 1/2 * 16 = 8 mangoes.
5. Subtract the number of mangoes given to Candy from the remaining mangoes: 12 - 8 = 4 mangoes.
Therefore, the man has 4 mangoes remaining after sharing with Bob and Candy.
