<PRE><B>Question 1143987</B>
Jean-Paul bought 2 crates of apples.
 Each crate weighed 3-5/6 kilograms.
2 * 3{{{5/6}}} = 6{{{10/6}}} = 7{{{4/6}}} kg the weight of two crates
:
 He put 1-1/2 kilograms aside for eating and used the rest to bake apple pies.
 How many kilograms of apples did he use for the pies?
7{{{4/6}}} - 1{{{3/6}}} = 6{{{1/6}}} kg for pies
:
 What percent of apples did he set aside for eating? 
change 7{{{4/6}}} to decimal: 7.6667 kg
change 1{{{1/2}}} to decimal: 1.500 kg
{{{1.5/7.6667}}} * 100 = 19.57% kg for eating</PRE>
