Answer 1

3.92kg of Apples

Explanation:

The size of Pears weight is 3/5 of 9.8kg...

=3/5 * 9.8

=3 * 9.8/5

=29.4/5

=5.88kg

Thus, the size of the Apples will be 9.8kg - 5.88kg

= 3.92kg.

Thus, the farmer sold 3.92kg of Apples at the farmer's market.

Answer 2

Answer:3.92

Explanation:

find 1/5 of 9.8kg

3/5 of pears = 1.96*3=5.88kg

apples= 2/5 so 1.96*2=3.92kg

OR 9.8-5.88=3.92kg
