Ms.Perez has a crate of 24 pieces of fruit. 1/2 are oranges, 1/4 are mangos, and 2/3 are pineapples. How many or oranges? How many or mangos? How many are pineapples?

There is something wrong with the problem itself.

24 x 1/2 = 12
24 x 2/3 = 16
24 x 1/4 = 6

That means there are 34 pieces of fruit. That contradicts the problem.

I noticed this easily because 2/3 + 1/2 is already bigger than 1.

The problem is not solvable unless there are some fruits that are both pineapples AND oranges.

Actually the question was wrong> 24 pieces of fruit. 1/2 are oranges, 1/4 are mangos, and 2/8 are pineapples. How many oranges, how many mangos and how many pineapples are there?

To find the number of oranges in the crate, we need to determine 1/2 of the total number of fruits.

To do this, we multiply the total number of fruits (24) by 1/2:

24 * 1/2 = 12

So, there are 12 oranges in the crate.

Now let's find the number of mangos. We will multiply the total number of fruits (24) by 1/4:

24 * 1/4 = 6

Thus, there are 6 mangos in the crate.

Finally, we will calculate the number of pineapples in the crate by multiplying the total number of fruits (24) by 2/3:

24 * 2/3 = 16

Hence, there are 16 pineapples in the crate.
