total weight of the fruit in baskets =58/3 kg
weight of apples=73/9 kg
weight of oranges=19/6 kg
let the weight of pears =x
⇒ x+73/9 + 19/6 =58/3
⇒ x= 73/9 - 19/6 -58/3
⇒ (348-146-57)/18
⇒ (348-203)/18
⇒ 145/18
∴ 145/18 kg or .05 kg
weight of apples=73/9 kg
weight of oranges=19/6 kg
let the weight of pears =x
⇒ x+73/9 + 19/6 =58/3
⇒ x= 73/9 - 19/6 -58/3
⇒ (348-146-57)/18
⇒ (348-203)/18
⇒ 145/18
∴ 145/18 kg or .05 kg

total weight= 58/3 kg.
weight of apples=73/9 kg
weight of oranges=19/6 kg
let weight of pears be x kg
weight of apples + weight of oranges + weight of pears = total weight
73/9 + 19/6 + x = 58/3
x= 58/3 - 73/9 - 19/6
= 101/9 - 19/6
= 145/18
total weight of pears is 145/18 kg or 0.05 kg.
weight of apples=73/9 kg
weight of oranges=19/6 kg
let weight of pears be x kg
weight of apples + weight of oranges + weight of pears = total weight
73/9 + 19/6 + x = 58/3
x= 58/3 - 73/9 - 19/6
= 101/9 - 19/6
= 145/18
total weight of pears is 145/18 kg or 0.05 kg.
