3 people on a farm has picked a total of 36 ripe mangoes earlier which will be shared equally among them. This time, they were given five minutes to pick as many mangoes as they can and they get to keep all the ripe mangoes they pick.
If Vanessa (one of the three people) picks 38 mangoes, 19 of which are unripe, how many mangoes will Vanessa get to keep after both picking sessions?
In the first picking session, Vanessa picked 38 mangoes. Since 19 of them were unripe, she will only get to keep 38 - 19 = 19 ripe mangoes from the first session.
In total, Vanessa will have 19 ripe mangoes from the first session and 38 ripe mangoes from the second session, for a total of 19 + 38 = 57 ripe mangoes.
Therefore, Vanessa will get to keep 57 ripe mangoes in total.
