Question

A farmer sells 7.4 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market. 3/4 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. How many kilograms of apples did she sell at the farmer's market?

Answer 1

3.9 kilograms

Explanation:

She sold 7.4 kgs and 3.5 were pears. The rest were apples, so we know that 3.5 added to the weight of the apples, x equals 7.4

3.5+ x= 7.4

Subtract 3.5 from both sides

x=3.9

So, she sold 3.9 kilograms of apples
