The answer to your question is 189/40 kg or 4.7 kg of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total weight = 6.3 kg

amount of pears = 1/4

amount of apples = ?

Process

1.- Convert the total weight to a fraction

              6.3 = 63/10

2.- Divide the total weight by the number of pears (4)

              63/10 ÷ 4 = 63/40

3.- Subtract the previous result from the total weight

             63/10 - 63/40 = 252/40 - 63/40 = 189/40

4.- Result

There are 189/40 kg of apples or 4.7 kg of apples
