5 2/6

4 packages each weighing 6 7/8 pounds . About how much do the 4 packages weigh?

To determine how much 1 1/3 boxes weigh, we need to multiply the weight of one box by 1 1/3.

First, let's convert 2 2/3 pounds to an improper fraction. The whole number, 2, can be multiplied by the denominator, 3, and then added to the numerator, 2, to get a new numerator: (2 * 3) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8. So, 2 2/3 is equivalent to 8/3 pounds.

Now, let's multiply 8/3 by 1 1/3. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

For the numerators: 8 * 1 = 8

For the denominators: 3 * 3 = 9

Thus, 8/3 multiplied by 1 1/3 is equal to 8/9.

Finally, to find out how much 1 1/3 boxes weigh, we multiply 8/9 pounds (weight of one box) by 1 1/3.

To multiply a whole number and a fraction, we can convert the whole number to a fraction by giving it a denominator of 1. So, 1 is equivalent to 1/1.

Now, we can multiply: (8/9) * (1 1/3)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators: 8 * 1 = 8

To multiply whole numbers, multiply the whole numbers and ignore the denominators: 1 * 1 = 1

To multiply the fractions, multiply the denominators: 9 * 3 = 27

Thus, (8/9) * (1 1/3) = 8/27 pounds.

Therefore, 1 1/3 boxes will weigh 8/27 pounds.
