Answer 2

7 ounces.

Explanation:

7/8 is on the line, and Habika has 7/8 of a pound of pretzels. If you divide 7/8 by two, you get 0.4375 of a pound of pretzels.

(On the number line, you can put it on the 4th line from 0, about 4.5/10 to 5.)

0.4375 of a pound converted to ounces is 7 ounces.

Therefore, your answer will be 0.4375 of a pound of pretzels. (about 0.44) which is 7 ounces.
