A fruit

A fruit grower uses 1/3 of his land for bananas, 3/8 for pineapples, 1/6 for mangoes, and the remainder for oranges. What fraction of his land is used for oranges?

Final Answer:

o =  1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} r=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8}{24}+\frac{9}{24}+\frac{4}{24}=\frac{8+9+4}{24}=\frac{21}{24}=\frac{7}{8}=0.875 \\ o=1-r=1-\frac{7}{8}=\frac{1\cdot 8}{8}-\frac{7}{8}=\frac{8}{8}-\frac{7}{8}=\frac{8-7}{8}=\frac{1}{8}=0.125 \end{gathered}$$
