Do you have a question about this?

1/2 of 24 = 12 apples
1/8 of 24 = 3 oranges
24 - 15 = _______ lemons
To find the number of apples, oranges, and lemons in the bag, we can use fractions and percentages to calculate.
First, let's calculate the number of apples. We are given that half of the fruit in the bag is apples, which can be expressed as 1/2 of 24.
To find 1/2 of 24, we multiply 24 by 1/2:
(24) * (1/2) = 12
So, there are 12 apples in the bag.
Next, let's calculate the number of oranges. We know that 1/8 of the fruit in the bag is oranges. To find 1/8 of 24, we multiply 24 by 1/8:
(24) * (1/8) = 3
So, there are 3 oranges in the bag.
To find the number of lemons, we can subtract the number of apples and oranges from the total number of fruit in the bag.
Total number of fruit = 24
Number of apples = 12
Number of oranges = 3
Number of lemons = Total number of fruit - Number of apples - Number of oranges
Number of lemons = 24 - 12 - 3 = 9
Therefore, there are 9 lemons in the bag.
