Answer:

2 2/3 kg

Explanation:

Total tomatoes picked = 4 kg

Tomatoes thrown out = 1 1/3 kg into

How much kg of good tomatoes did he keep?

Total tomatoes remaining = Total tomatoes picked - Tomatoes thrown out

= 4 kg - 1 1/3kg

= 4 - 4/3

= (12-4)/3

= 8 /3

= 2 2/3 kg

He kept 2 2/3 kg of good tomatoes
