The weight of (1-3/4) = 1/4 of pumpkin is 3/4 Kg.
So the pumpkin weighs 3 kgs.
The words are meant to confuse you, try to get to the facts stated.

"hamsuzy" is correct.
The pumpkin weighs 3/4 kg + (3/4)(3/4) kg.
3/4 + (3/4)(3/4) =
3/4 + 9/16 =
12/16 + 9/16 =
21/16 kg = 1 and 5/16 kg

Sounds like a misprint to me - you need at least 2 facts in order to be able to solve a maths problem. 3/4 of a pumpkin is not a known fact!

All pumpkins weigh "one pumpkin worth".
The one in question weighs 0.75 kg + (three-quarters of a pumpkin).
Therefore one quarter of a pumpkin = 0.75 kg = 750 g.
One pumpkin has 4 quarters .... therefore one pumpkin weighs 4 * (0.75) = 3.00 kg = 3000 g

3/4 kg = 750g
3/4 pumpkin = 3/4 750
=562.5
thus
750 + 562.5 =1312.5 g
1.3 kg

ALL you have to do is simply add the two fractions together.
3/4 + 3/4 =6/4 and in mixed fractions, this is 1 and 1/3. so in other words, one and one thirds.

3 kilos is the correct answer.
The formula is (.75 x 1000 gr.) + .75X= X
If you solve for "x" you get 3000 grams or 3 kilos.
