A farm grower uses 1/3 of his land for banana and 1/8 for pineapple and the remainder for orange,what fraction did he use for orange
1/3+1/8= 8/24+3/24=11/24
He used 11/24 of his property to grow oranges.
no
he has used 1/3 + 1/8 of his land = 11/24
that leaves 13/24 to be used for oranges
To find the fraction of land used for oranges, we need to calculate the sum of the fractions used for bananas and pineapples and then subtract it from 1.
Step 1: Add the fractions for bananas and pineapples:
1/3 (for bananas) + 1/8 (for pineapples) = 8/24 + 3/24 = 11/24
Step 2: Subtract the sum of fractions used for bananas and pineapples from 1:
1 - 11/24 = 24/24 - 11/24 = 13/24
Therefore, the farmer used 13/24 of his land for oranges.
