Answer 1

Answer:

David took 16 oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of oranges = 48

Oranges rotten =

$\dfrac{1}{3}$

Number of oranges rotten =

$\dfrac{1}{3}\times 48\\\\=16$

There were 16 rotten oranges.

Number of good oranges left =

$= 48-16\\=32$

These are equally divided among Ben and David.

Number of oranges each Ben and David get =

$\dfrac{32}{2} = 16$

Thus, David took 16 oranges.
