Answer 2

`\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Given:}}}`

Total number of rotten mangoes in the bag = 6

Total number of good mangoes in the bag = 24

`\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {To\:find:}}}`

Fraction of the rotten mangoes to the total mangoes.

`\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Solution:}}}`

`\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { (1)/(5) }}}}}}`

`\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Step-by-step\:explanation :}}}`

Total number of mangoes in the bag = Total number of rotten mangoes + Total number of good mangoes

➺
`\:6 + 24`

➺
`\:30`

Now,

Fraction =
`(Total \: \: number \: \: of \: \: rotten \: \: mangoes)/(Total \: \: number \: \: of \: \: mangoes)`

➺
`\: (6)/(30)`

➺
`\: (1)/(5)`

Therefore, the fraction of the rotten mangoes to the total mangoes is
`\sf\pink{(1)/(5)}`.
