Answer:
1.55 kilograms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A farmer sells 6.2 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market.
[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears.
Question asked:
How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?
Solution:
Total weight of apples and pears = 6.2 kilograms
As [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of this weight is apples
Weight of apples = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ of\ 6.2\ kilograms=\frac{3}{4}\times6.2=\frac{18.6}{4} =4.65\ kilograms[/tex]
Remaining weight ( pears ) = 6.2 - 4.65 = 1.55 kilograms
Weight of pears = 1.55 kilograms
Thus, she sell 1.55 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
