Adrianna Fitzgerald · Answer 1

Each box would weigh 1/24 pounds. The math is: 1/6 : 4 = 1/6*1/4 = 1/24

Kiana Farley · Answer 2

1/6 / 4

4 is also known as 4/1 so

1/6 / 4/1

and when you divide two fractions you simply flip the second fraction upside down and multiply the new equation

1/6 x 1/4
