Answer:

She sold 5.775 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first determine the information that the question gives us, and what we need to find.

Given:

The farmer sold 7.7 kilograms of apples and pears

1/4 of the weight is apples

The rest of the weight is pears

Find:

Kilograms of pears that the farmer sold

Start by finding the fraction of the whole weight that was pears...

[tex]1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Now, find 3/4 of 7.7...

[tex]\frac{3}{4}(7.7)=\frac{23.1}{4}=5.775\ kg[/tex]

She sold 5.775 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
