Question

A farmer sells 7.9 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market. 3/4 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. How many kilograms of apples did she sell at the farmer's market?

Answer 1

Answer: 1.975 kilograms of apples

Explanation: If 3/4 of the weight is pears then the other 1/4 is the apple's weight. So 0.25 * 7.9 = 1.975. (To clarify 0.25 is actually 1/4 but written in decimal form.)
