Well I’m assuming that 2 and 5 is 2.5 kilos

And if that's true then the pears weigh 2.5 kilos.

8.4 total kilograms - 2.5 = 5.9

So the apples would be 5.9 kilograms

Answer:

Total - 8.4 kilos

Pears; 2/5

Apples; Unknown

The rest of the 2/5 of pears is 3/5 apples.

3/5(apples) x 8.4(kilos)

0.6 x 8.4 = 5.04 or 5 4/100 which simplifies to 1/25
