Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to improper fraction

Paulina's suitcase weight: \( 4\frac{4}{7} = \frac{4\times7 + 4}{7} = \frac{32}{7} \) pounds.

Step2: Calculate Rebecca's suitcase weight

Rebecca's weight is \( \frac{7}{8} \) of Paulina's. So, \( \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{32}{7} \).
Simplify: The 7s cancel, \( \frac{32}{8} = 4 \) pounds.
