Apples + Oranges + Bananas + Mangoes = 120
(1/3) + (1/8) + (1/6) + Mangoes = 120
Mangoes = 1 - (1/3) + (1/8) + (1/6)
Mangoes = 1 - (15/24)
Mangoes = 9/24 x
Total fruits = 120
Number of apples = Part of fruit × Total fruits
1/3 × 120
40 apples
Number of oranges
1/8 × 120
15 oranges
Number of bananas
1/6 × 120
20 bananas
Number of mangoes
9/24 × 120
45 mangoes
Verification
40 + 15 + 20 + 45 = 120
120 = 120
