A farmer sells 7.6 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmers market. 1/4 of this weight is pears and the rest is apples. How many kilograms of apples did she sell at the farmers market?

Respuesta :

The farmer sold 5.7 kilograms of apples at the farmers market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total weight of pears and apples = 7.6 kilograms

Weight of pears = [tex]\frac{1}{4}\ of\ total\ weight[/tex]

Weight of pears = [tex]\frac{1}{4}*7.6[/tex]

Weight of pears = 1.9 kg

Rest are apples, therefore,

Weight of apples = Total weight - Weight of pears

Weight of apples = 7.6 - 1.9 = 5.7 kg

The farmer sold 5.7 kilograms of apples at the farmers market.
