first, make the denominator the lowest common multiple of 3 and 8 - 24.
8/24 apples, 3/24 mangoes.
oranges = 24/24 - 8/24 - 3/24 = 13/24
number of mangoes + 14 = number of oranges
3units + 14 = 13units
10units = 14 fruits
24 units (total) = 33.6 fruits
not sure why i didnt get a whole number but fairly sure it should be 7 units = 14 fruits and not 10 units. can’t figure out where i went wrong
