Answer:

5.28 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer sells 8.8 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market and 2/5 of this weight is pears.

Since a fraction is a part of a whole, 1, then, the fraction repressing the weight of the apples is:

1 - 2/5 = 3/5

Therefore, the weight of apples is/

3 / 5 * 8.8 = 5.28 kg

She sold 5.28kg of apples at the farmer's market.
