Question

A farmer sells 7.2 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market. 4/5 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

1.44 Kilograms

Explanation:

To find out the weight of the apples, you have to divide 7.2 by 5.

7.22/5=1.44

1.44 kilograms of apples sold.

Because the weight of the apples is only 1/5, there is no adding needed.
