Solution

Total number of apples in the basket = $24$
Number of rotten apples in the basket = $5$
Number of fresh apples in the basket = $24 - 5 = 19$
Fraction of fresh apples in the basket = $\frac{N u m b e r o f f r e s h a p p l e s}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f a p p l e s} = \frac{19}{24}$
Hence, $\frac{19}{24}$ of total apples in the basket are fresh..
