    A half-filled container will weight 160 oz

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Weight of container with fruit punch = 275 oz

    weight of container excluding fruit punch = 45 oz

    Weight of fruit punch = Weight of container with fruit punch - weight of container excluding fruit punch = 275 oz - 45 oz = 230 oz

    Thus, when container is full, it contains 230 oz.

    When container will be half full, it will contain half of 230 oz

    half of 230 oz = 1/2 * 230 oz = 115 oz

    Thus,

    a half-filled container will weight = weight of container + half of the capacity of container (115 oz) = (45 + 115) oz = 160 oz.

    Thus, a half-filled container will weight 160 oz.
