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?

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
