Josh had zero melons because he never got any .
The answer is 20
the scale factor is 1.25 (to find that out do 12.5/10) then multiply 16 by 1.25 and you get 20.
5/8 = 2/3 the entire box
Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1
So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.
5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16
5/8 + 5/16
Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:
10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16
So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.
