The question is incomplete:
A farmer sells 8.1 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market. 2/5 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?
Answer:
She sold 4.86 kg of pears at the farmer's market.
Step-by-step explanation:
With information provided, you know the amount of kilograms of apples and pears sold and that 2/5 of this weight is apples, so you can find first the number of kilograms of apples sold by multipying 2/5 for 8.1 kilograms:
2/5*8.1=3.24 kg
Now, you can find the kilograms of pears that the farmer sold by subtracting the kilograms of apples sold from the total amount of apples and pears sold:
8.1-3.24=4.86 kg
According to this, the answer is that she sold 4.86 kg of pears at the farmer's market.
