Desmond sold a total of 8/10 pound of blueberries and raspberries at the farmers market . The weight of the blueberries is 3/4 of the total weight of the fruit . What is the weight of the blueberries?

Respuesta :

Total weight of the sold fruits = [tex]\frac{8}{10}[/tex]

Weight of blueberries is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of total weight of [tex]\frac{8}{10}[/tex]

So, weight of blueberries is = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{8}{10}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Hence, weight of blueberries is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] pounds

Weight of raspberries = [tex]\frac{8}{10}-\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{8-6}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex] pounds
