Question might be incomplete or incorrect so we'd have to assume Mateo took apples

Answer:

5/189 apples

Explanation:

If Carlos picks 6/384 apples then there must be 384 apples available to pick from. Amount of apples left after Carlos picks =384-6=378 apples

If Mateo picks 10 apples after Carlos then how much apples Mateo has taken would depend on the number of apples available, hence the fraction of apples Mateo has taken = 10/378

Reduce to lowest terms to get 5/189 apples
