We are give that each friend took 2/3 pound of grapes from the bowl. Therefore, to know the total amount taken by the four friends, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:

1 friend .................> 2/3 pounds

4 friends ...............> ?? pounds

Amount taken by the 4 friends = [4*(2/3)] / 1 = 8/3 pounds

The bowl originally had 8 pounds and 8/3 pounds were taken, therefore:

remaining amount = 8 - 8/3 = 16/3 pounds hope this helps!
