Question

Olivia was packing up some of her old stuff in to a Box. A Box can hold 7 pounds, but she only filled it up with 2/3 full. How much was the weight of the box?

Answer 1

2 easy ways:
1. Divide 7 by 3 then multiply by 2
7/3= seven thirds or 2.333
Now multiply by two to get 14 thirds
or 4.666
2. Multiply 7 by 2/3, or 0.666
This way is a lot easier with a
calculator

The weight of the box is 14/3’s or 4.666
