Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's start by finding how much of the total weight is pears:

Weight of pears = (3/5) x 7.9 kg = 4.74 kg

Since the total weight of pears and apples is 7.9 kg, we can find the weight of apples by subtracting the weight of pears from the total weight:

Weight of apples = Total weight - Weight of pears = 7.9 kg - 4.74 kg = 3.16 kg

Therefore, the farmer sold 3.16 kg of apples at the farmers market.
