    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = the number of pounds of oranges in the full box.

    On a field trip, students ate 3/10 of a box of oranges. This means that the students ate 3/10 * x = 3x/10 pounds of oranges.

    Altogether they ate 6 pounds of oranges. This means that

    3x/10 = 6

    3x = 6*10

    3x = 60

    x = 60/3 = 20

    The full box contained 20 pounds of oranges

    Each tenth of the model is 2 pounds because a tenth of 20 pounds is 20/10 = 2 pounds
