There are 5 oranges on the tree now.

Let the number of oranges that Lisa has before the harvest be represented by x.

Number of oranges on Katie's orange tree = 30

Since Katie's tree has three times as many fruits as Lisa's, then the number of oranges on Lisa's tree will be:

(3 × x) = 30

3x = 30

x = 30/3

x = 10

Lisa has 10 oranges

Since Lisa harvested half of her oranges on the tree, then the oranges on the tree now will be:

= 10 × 1/2

= 5 oranges

In conclusion, there are 5 oranges on the tree now.
