Answer :

Initial weight of dry ice = 3/4 pounds

After the experiment you used 1/3 of what you bought . The amount of dried ice used can be calculated below

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{dried ice used=}\frac{1}{3}of\text{ }\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{dried ice used}=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}\text{ pounds} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Amount of dried Ice used = 1/4 pounds
