A farmer sells 9.3 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market.
3
4
of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?
Okay, so there is the total of 9.3 kg!
3/4 is apples
1/4 is pears
instead of doing 9.3 x 3/4 then subrtacting it, we can do any easier way!
Just do PEARS x TOTAL KG
= 1/4 x 9.3
9.3/4 = 2.325
I hope this works! I'm not necessarily good at math as other people I know, but I try to help others!
