Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the weight of Larry's squash, we need to multiply the weight of Susan's squash by the fraction given (1/4).

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators (numbers on top) together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators (numbers on the bottom) together to get the new denominator.

So, multiplying 8/15 by 1/4 gives us:

(8 * 1) / (15 * 4) = 8/60

Therefore, the weight of Larry's squash is indeed 8/60.
