Question

a box contained apple,oranges,and pears.3/5 of the fruits were apples.1/4 of the remaining fruits were oranges and the rest were pears. If there were 60 pears in the box,how many oranges were there?

Answer 1

first you will have too find the least common multiple which is 20 and what you multiplied to get 20 multiply it which will make 3/5 to 12/20 and 1/4 too 4/20 and then subtract the two which is 8/20 or 8 oranges. if you need more information talk too me
