    5.46 kilograms or 6.6 kilograms

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assume that 2 5 in your question has two possible meaning:

    2/5 of this weight is apples

    Let divide 9.1 kilograms into 5 equal part

    => 1 equal part = 9.1 / 5 = 1.82 kilograms

    Because 2/5 of this weight is apples, so the weight of apples accounted for 2 equal parts

    => the weight of apples is: 2*1.82 kilograms = 3.64 kilograms

    => the weight of pears is: 9.1 kilograms - 3.64 kilograms = 5.46 kilograms

    2.5 kg of this weight is apples

    Given the total weight is 9.1 kilograms

    => the weight of pears is: 9.1 kilograms - 2.5 kilograms = 6.6 kilograms
