Answer:
She sold 5.775 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first determine the information that the question gives us, and what we need to find.
Given:
The farmer sold 7.7 kilograms of apples and pears
1/4 of the weight is apples
The rest of the weight is pears
Find:
Kilograms of pears that the farmer sold
Start by finding the fraction of the whole weight that was pears...
[tex]1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Now, find 3/4 of 7.7...
[tex]\frac{3}{4}(7.7)=\frac{23.1}{4}=5.775\ kg[/tex]
She sold 5.775 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
