The best way to start this problem would be to turn all the values into the same format. Since the box can hold 8 pounds when completely full we can then say that

8 pounds  =  

Now that we turned the weight of the full box into a fraction with the same denominator as the 2/4 full box, we can see that this is half of a full box. Therefore we can multiply 8 pounds by 0.5 (50%).

8 pounds * 0.5 = 4 pounds

Finally, we can see that the weight of the box is 4 pounds
