Answer:

1.625 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Since total weight of pears and apples is 6.5 kilograms and 3/4 of this weight is pears, the weight of the pears is

→ 6.5 x 3/4 = 4.875 kilograms

Since the weight of the pears is 4.875, we can subtract it from the total weight to find the weight of the apples

→ 6.5 - 4.875 = 1.625 kilograms
