To find the weight of each strawberry, we start by dividing the total weight of the box by the number of strawberries in it. The box weighs \( \frac{1}{2} \) pound and contains 15 strawberries. So, the weight of each strawberry is: \[ \text{Weight of each strawberry} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{15} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{30} \text{ pounds} \] Thus, each strawberry weighs \( \frac{1}{30} \) of a pound.
