Answer:

Explanation:

The can contains 1 pound + 2 oz

1 pound = 16 oz

1 can = 16oz + 2oz

1 can = 18 oz

2/3 can = 18 oz * 2/3

2/3 can = 18 oz/1 * 2/3

Multiply the numerator * numerator divide by (denominator * denominator)

2/3 can = 36 / 3

2/3 can = 12 oz.

You could do this by cancelation, but you may not know that yet.
