Answer:

24/32 which is C

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound = 16 oz

1/2 pound = 16/2 = 8 oz

The box of chocolates weighs 1 1/2 pounds which is 16 + 8 =24 oz

So 32 chocolates weighs 24 oz

      1 chocolate = x

32/1 = 24/x         Equation. Cross multiply

32x = 24             Divide by 32

x = 24/32
