Any answer given will not be correct since we don't
have the empty weight of the box. However, if we
are told that 68 pieces of chocolate weigh a total
of 2 pounds, find the average weight of a piece
of chocolate:
There are 16 ounces in a pound so
2 pounds = 32 ounces
ounces/chocolate = 32/68 = 8/17 = 0.47 ounces per chocolate
