Question

A farmer sells 7.7 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market. 3 4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?

Answer 1

Pears weight = 1.925 kgs

Explanation:

Total weight of apples & pears = 7.7kg

Apples weight = 3/4th of total weight

= ( 3/4 ) x ( 7.7 )

= 5.775

So, remaining pears weight = Total weight - Apples weight

= 7.7 - 5.775

= 1.925
