Answer: 5.22kg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a farmer sells 8.7 kilograms of pears and apples at the market. Of the pears and apples sold, 2/5 of this weight is pears, and the rest is apples. To calculate the kilograms of apple sold goes thus:

Total kilograms sold = 8.7kg

Fraction of pears weight = 2/5

Pears kilograms sold = 2/5 × 8.7

= 0.4 × 8.7

= 3.48kg

Since the kilograms of pears sold is , 3.48kg, to get the kilograms of apple sold, we subtract 3.48kg from 8.7kg. This will be:

= 8.7kg - 3.48kg

= 5.22kg

What’s the answerrrrr?
steposvetlana [31]

The answer is 95.

First: find the area if the whole rectangle. To do so you would multiply lxw (10x12)

Second: you would find the area of the square. Squares have perfect sides so you would multiply 5x5.

Last: take the sums of both equations. So the it would be 120-25=95.
