    the weight is 60.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So lets look at what we are given:

    w (weight) * 2/3 = 40 pounds

    (short explanation is you times 40 by 3/2)

    We want to solve for weight there are a few ways to do this but the easiest one is to times both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3. Which is 3/2. That will cancel our the 2/3 and leave only "w" on the left side.

    w = 40 * 3/2
