Question

A farmer sells 6.4 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market.

2/5 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?

I NEED THIS IN fraction and decimal form

Answer 1

If 2/5 are apples, 2/5 x 8.9 kilos = 0.4 x 8.9 = 3.56 kilos of apples

pears = 8.9 - 3.56 = 5.34 kilos

if apples are 2/5, then pears are 3/5. 3/5 x 8.9 = .6 x 8.9 = 5.34 kilos of pears
