A farmer sells 7.6 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market.
3
5
of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?
To solve this problem, you need to subtract the weight of the apples from the total weight of apples and pears.
Given that 3/5 of the weight is apples and the total weight is 7.6 kilograms, we can set up the following equation:
(3/5) * Total weight = Weight of apples
Let's solve for the weight of apples first:
Weight of apples = (3/5) * 7.6 kilograms = 4.56 kilograms
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
Weight of pears = 7.6 kilograms - 4.56 kilograms
Weight of pears = 3.04 kilograms
Therefore, the farmer sold 3.04 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
I am assuming you mean 3/5 is apples.
(1-3/5) * 7.6 = 2/5 * 7.6 = ?
