    Answer: 950 kg

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Hassan sells a total of 1.33\ \text{tonnes} of vegetables

    The ratio of the mass of fruit to the vegetables is 5:7

    Suppose x\ \text{tonnes} is the total mass of stuff

    For vegetables, we can write

    \Rightarrow x\times \dfrac{7}{5+7}=1.33\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.33\times \dfrac{12}{7}=2.28\ \text{tonnes}

    For fruits

    \Rightarrow 2.28\times \dfrac{5}{5+7}=0.95\ \text{tonnes}\approx 950\ kg
