Answer: 3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation: To convert 48 ounces into pounds, first find the conversion factor for ounces and pounds.
Conversion factor ⇒ 1 pound = 16 ounces
Next, notice that we are going from a smaller unit "ounces" to a larger unit "pounds" and when we go from a smaller unit to a larger unit we divide by the conversion factor.
48 ÷ 16 = 3
Therefore, 48 ounces equals 3 pounds.
