Answer:
The weight of the box is 4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced problems.
The best way to start this problem would be to turn all the values into the same format. Since the box can hold 8 pounds when completely full we can then say that
8 pounds = [tex]\frac{4}{4}[/tex]
Now that we turned the weight of the full box into a fraction with the same denominator as the 2/4 full box, we can see that this is half of a full box. Therefore we can multiply 8 pounds by 0.5 (50%).
8 pounds * 0.5 = 4 pounds
Finally, we can see that the weight of the box is 4 pounds
