3
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 1

Answer:

3.68

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3/5 of the weight is apples, then 2/5 of the weight is pears.

2/5 * 9.2 = 3.68

Answer 2

Answer: 1 .9 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

9.5/5=1.9

since the apples account for 4 parts, we multiply 4 times the value of 1 of the 5 parts

4x1.9=7.6

Now we subtract from the original weight of everything.

9.5-7.6=1.9
