Answer 1

`Chocolate\ Weight = (2)/(3)kg`

Explanation:

Given

`Candies =2(2)/(3)\ kg`

`Chocolate = (1)/(4)` of the candies

Required

Determine the weight of the chocolate pretzels ---- This completes your question

To determine the weight, we simply multiply the fraction of chocolates by the total weight of the candies.

i.e.

`Chocolate\ Weight = (1)/(4) * 2(2)/(3)`

Convert Fraction

`Chocolate\ Weight = (1)/(4) * (8)/(3)`

`Chocolate\ Weight = (1 * 8)/(4 * 3)`

`Chocolate\ Weight = (8)/(12)`

Simplify

`Chocolate\ Weight = (2)/(3)kg`
