if i had 7 apples,5 mangoes and 8 oranges ,What part of the fraction are mangoes?
5/20 or
1/4 of all the fruits are mangoes.
To determine what part of the whole the mangoes represent, you need to divide the number of mangoes by the total number of fruits.
Total number of fruits = 7 apples + 5 mangoes + 8 oranges = 20 fruits
So, the fraction of mangoes would be:
Number of mangoes / Total number of fruits = 5 / 20 = 1/4
Hence, the mangoes represent 1/4th of the total fruits.
To find out the fraction representing the part of mangoes out of the total fruits, you will need to add up the total number of fruits and then determine the number of mangoes.
First, calculate the total number of fruits: 7 (apples) + 5 (mangoes) + 8 (oranges) = 20 fruits in total.
To find the fraction representing the part of mangoes, divide the number of mangoes by the total number of fruits: 5 (mangoes) / 20 (total fruits).
Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, the fraction cannot be simplified, so the answer is 5/20.
Therefore, the fraction representing the part of mangoes is 5/20.
