Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of pounds of grapes that the friends removed can be written as:

2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3 + 2/3 = (2/3) * 4 = 8/3

Looking at the answer choices, only B works, with -8/3. The negative sign makes sense because we are removing grapes.

The answer is thus B.
