Answer: She sell 2.6 kg of pears at the farmer's market.

Explanation:

Given: The weight of apples and pears together = 6.5 kg

Weight of apples =
(3)/(5) of (total apples and pears)

Weight of apples =
(3)/(5)* 6.5=3.9\ kg

Weight of pears = 6.5-3.9 kg = 2.6 kg

Hence, She sell 2.6 kg of pears at the farmer's market.
