All I want for Christmas is the answerrrrrr
A farmer sells 7.5 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market. 2/5
of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. How many kilograms of apples did she sell at the farmer's market?
pears = 2/5 * 7.6 = ___
I don't Understand This
The farmer sold 150/50 kg or 3.000 kg of pears
To find out how many kilograms of pears the farmer sold at the market, we need to subtract the weight of apples from the total weight of apples and pears.
First, let's find the weight of apples. We know that 3/5 of the total weight is apples. So, we can calculate it by multiplying 7.6 kilograms by 3/5:
Weight of apples = 7.6 kg * 3/5 = 22.8/5 kg = 4.56 kg
Now, to find the weight of pears, we subtract the weight of apples from the total weight:
Weight of pears = Total weight - Weight of apples
= 7.6 kg - 4.56 kg
= 3.04 kg
Therefore, the farmer sold 3.04 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
