Question

Of the 48 oranges in a carton 1/3 of them were rotten Ben and David took the remaining good oranges it's been took eat my oranges and David how many oranges did David take

Answer 1

David took 16 oranges.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of oranges = 48

Oranges rotten =

`(1)/(3)`

Number of oranges rotten =

`(1)/(3)* 48\\\\=16`

There were 16 rotten oranges.

Number of good oranges left =

`= 48-16\\=32`

These are equally divided among Ben and David.

Number of oranges each Ben and David get =

`(32)/(2) = 16`

Thus, David took 16 oranges.
