A farmer sells 6.6 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?

Answer 1

3/4 of 6.6 kg are apples = 6.6(3/4) = 4.95 kg

pears sold were 6.6-4.95 = 1.65 kg

or

(1-3/4)(6.6 = 1/4 of 6.6 = 6.6/4 = 1.65 kg pears
