Answer: Let's call the total amount of grass that Austin collected "G" in kilograms. We know that he collected 30 9/10 kilograms, which can be written as a mixed number or an improper fraction:

30 9/10 = 309/10

So, we have:

G = 309/10

We also know that 2/3 of the grass he collected was blue grass. So, let's call the amount of blue grass "B" in kilograms. We can set up an equation based on the information given:

B = (2/3)G

Substituting G = 309/10, we get:

B = (2/3)(309/10)

B = 206/5

B = 41 1/5

Therefore, the total amount of blue grass Austin collected was 41 1/5 kilograms.
