If they're out in the open, the fruits release ethylene gas into the air. and since the fruit is exposed to the air, the ethylene gas ruins the fruit. if it is in a plastic container, then the ethylene gas makes the fruit go rotten even faster because the concentration of ethylene is so high in the container.

Likely 5 to 7 days. Either way, anything is still fresh for a day or 2.
