Ella works in the produce section at a grocery store. The store receives a shipment of green and red apples that weighs 20.4 pounds in total. Ella separates the green and red apples into bins by color. If red apples make up 1/4 of the shipment by weight, how many pounds of apples are green? Write your answer as a whole number, decimal, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.

Answer :

We have the following:

[tex]AR=20.4\cdot\frac{1}{4}=5.1[/tex]

therefore, 5.1 pounds of red apples, for green apple would be:

[tex]20.4-5.1=15.3[/tex]

The answer is 15.3 pounds of green apples
