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
Answer: The farmer sold 1.9 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a farmer sells 9.5 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market and [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] of the weight is the apples and the rest is the pears.
We are to find the number of kilograms of pears that she sold at the farmer's market.
Given that
[tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] of the weight of 9.5 kilograms is the apples.
So, the total weight of the apples is given by
[tex]W_a=\dfrac{4}{5}\times9.5=4\times1.9=7.6~\textup{kilograms}.[/tex]
Therefore, the weight of the pears is given by
[tex]W_p=9.5-W_a=9.5-7.6=1.9~\textup{kilograms}.[/tex]
Thus, the farmer sold 1.9 kilograms of pears at the farmer's market.
