Answer:
The chocolate covered pretzels in Sophie's bag weighed [tex]\frac{2}{3} = 0.6667[/tex] kilograms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sophie filled a bag with 2 2/3 kilograms of candy.
This means that the total weight is of:
[tex]2\frac{2}{3} = 2 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}[/tex]
The total weight is of 8/3 kilograms.
1/4 of the weight of the candy was from chocolate covered pretzels. How much did the chocolate covered pretzels in Sophie's bag weigh?
1/4 of 8/3. So
[tex]\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{8}{3} = \frac{1*8}{4*3} = \frac{2}{3} = 0.6667[/tex]
The chocolate covered pretzels in Sophie's bag weighed [tex]\frac{2}{3} = 0.6667[/tex] kilograms.
