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

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.

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

$\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { \frac{1}{5} }}}}}}$

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

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

➺$\: \frac{6}{30}$

➺$\: \frac{1}{5}$

Therefore, the fraction of the rotten mangoes to the total mangoes is $\sf\pink{\frac{1}{5}}$.
