A farmer sells 8.8 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market. 1/4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?
Explain. If the total weight of the produce 8.8kg and the weight of the apples makes up 1/4 of that total weight then you subtract that amount from the total weight. 1/4 of 8.8 is 2.2 and you can double check this by finding the product of 2.2 and 4 or by finding the quotient of 8.8 divided by 4.
