Answer:
A basket contains three types of fruits weighing 58/3 kg in all. If 73/9 kg of these be apples, 19/6 kg be oranges and the rest pears. What is the weight of the pears in the basket?
Step-by-step explanation:
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
