Question

A farmer sells 6.6 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?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.1 kg

Explanation:

Total amount sold of apples and pears = 6.6 kg

Of that 6.6 kg, 3.5 kg is the weight of the apples.

Subtract the weight of the apples from the total weight of the apples and pears.

6.6 kg (total weight) - 3.5 kg (weight of apples) = 3.1 kg (weight of pears)
