28 bad mangoes
Explanation:
Two-sixth of the mangoes ina basket are good. If the total number of magoes in the basket is 42 how many mangoes are bad
Step 1
We find the amount of mangoes that are good
Two-sixth of the mangoes in a basket are good = 2/6
Total number of mangoes = 42
Hence:
2/6 × 42 mangoes
= 14 good mangoes
Step 2
Find the number of bad mangoes
This is calculated as:
Total number of mangoes - Good Mangoes
= 42 mangoes - 14 good mangoes
= 28 bad mangoes
Therefore, the number of bad mangoes = 28
