Answer:


Weight = 6.3 kg

Explanation:

Given


Total = 8.4kg


Pears = (1)/(4)

Required

Determine the weight of apples

First, we calculate the fraction of apple.


Apple = 1 - Pears


Apple = 1 - (1)/(4)

Take LCM


Apple = (4-1)/(4)


Apple = (3)/(4)

The weight is then calculated as:


Weight = (3)/(4) * Total


Weight = (3)/(4) * 8.4kg


Weight = (3* 8.4kg)/(4)


Weight = (25.2kg)/(4)


Weight = 6.3 kg

Hence, the apples weigh 6.4kg
