Let x be the number of mangos Zachary has. Then, the number of papayas is 5x.
The ratio of mangos to papayas is 41:5, so:
41/5 = x / 5x
Expanding the right side and solving for x, we get:
41/5 = x / 5x
41 = 5x / x
41x = 5x^2
41x = 5x^2
41 = 5x
x = 41 / 5 = 8.2
So Zachary has 8.2 mangos. This is a decimal and not a whole number, so we must round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Zachary has 8 mangos
