A box contained apples,oranges and pears.3/5 of the fruits were apples and 1/4 of the fruits were oranges.What fraction are the pears?
Lee Min bought some fruits .4/5 of her fruits were apples.1/2 of the apples she bought were red .what fraction of the fruits was red apples?
Math. Victor and ajay go for a walk every morning .victor walk s 2×1/6 km.ajay walks 1×3/8 km less than victor .what is the total distance they walk every morning ?
To find the fraction of pears in the box, you need to subtract the fractions of apples and oranges from one.
Given that 3/5 of the fruits are apples and 1/4 of the fruits are oranges, you can add these fractions together to find the combined fraction for apples and oranges:
3/5 + 1/4
To add these fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20 (the LCD of 5 and 4). So, we can rewrite the fractions with 20 as the denominator:
(3/5) * (4/4) + (1/4) * (5/5)
= 12/20 + 5/20
Now that the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators:
12/20 + 5/20 = (12 + 5)/20 = 17/20
So, the fraction of apples and oranges combined is 17/20. To find the fraction of pears, you subtract this fraction from 1 (the whole):
1 - 17/20 = 20/20 - 17/20 = 3/20
Therefore, the fraction of pears is 3/20.
We don't know total number of fruits....or total number of fruits are not given...
Will it be like this???
3/5×x+1/4×x=x
Plz tell me logic???
No one asked how many fruits there are. You just need to give the fraction. Read the question carefully.
Ok thanks
3/5 + 1/4 = 12/20 + 5/20 = 17/20
so, what do you think?
