8/15 * 1/4 = 2/15
To find out how much Larry's watermelon weighed, we'll first need to determine how much Susan's watermelon weighed. According to the given information, Susan's watermelon weighed 8/15 lb.
Next, we can calculate the weight of Larry's watermelon, which is 1/4 of Susan's watermelon. To do this, we'll multiply the weight of Susan's watermelon by 1/4:
Weight of Larry's watermelon = (1/4) * (8/15 lb)
To simplify this equation, we can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
= (1 * 8) / (4 * 15 lb)
= 8/60 lb
Finally, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 4:
= (8/4) / (60/4 lb)
= 2/15 lb
Therefore, Larry's watermelon weighed 2/15 lb.
