Rachel was packing up some of her old stuff into a box. A box can hold 8 pounds but she only filled it up 2/4 full. How much weight is in the box

The weight that is in the box will be calculated as follows:
(weight)=(fraction of the box that is full)×(maximum amount of weight the box can hold)
fraction of the box that is full=2/4
maximum weight the box can hold=8 pounds
therefore the weight in the box will be:
weight=2/4×8=4 pounds
The answer is 4 pounds
