Question #2605b

Answer 1

`8/15` pounds (about 0.53 pounds).

Explanation:

He ate `4/5` of `2/3` pounds.
so to find the answer, just multiply the fractions.

to multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and the denominators, then simplify.
`4/5 * 2/3 = (4*2)/(5*3) = 8/15`

In this case, there is no simplifying to do because there is no common factor between 8 and 15. So the answer is `8/15`.

(to get decimal form, divide 8 by 15 on a calculator. you get .53)
