Kayla packs 4 boxes that weigh 1/6 pound altogether. What does each box weigh

The easiest way for me to solve this would be to simply multiply 1/6 by 4 and I got 4/24

4 boxes = 1/6 of a pound

If each box weighs the same then you should divide 1/6 of a pound by four. That should give you the weight of each box.

Step One:

1/6:4 = ?

Step Two:

Change the four to a fraction

1/6:4/1 = ?

Step 3:

Use the Keep/Flip/Change rule to rewrite the problem to an easier one.

1/6 (Keep) : 4/1 = ?

1/6:1/4 (Flip) = ?

1/6 * (Change) 1/4 = ?

Now you have this equation:

1 1

- - * - - = ?

6 4

Step 4:

Multiply across.

1 1 1

- - - * - - - = - - -

6 4 24

Step 5:

Write it out.

Now you have your answer and should write it in C. S. R. Q. format. (Complete Sentence that Restates the Question)

Each box Kayla packed weighs 1/24 of a pound.
