Answer:
A half-filled container will weight 160 oz
Explanation:
Weight of container with fruit punch = 275 oz
weight of container excluding fruit punch = 45 oz
Weight of fruit punch = Weight of container with fruit punch - weight of container excluding fruit punch = 275 oz - 45 oz = 230 oz
Thus, when container is full, it contains 230 oz.
When container will be half full, it will contain half of 230 oz
half of 230 oz = 1/2 * 230 oz = 115 oz
Thus,
a half-filled container will weight = weight of container + half of the capacity of container(115 oz) = (45 + 115) oz = 160 oz.
Thus, a half-filled container will weight 160 oz.
