How many pounds are there in 48 ounces?

Step 1 ：First, we need to know the conversion factor between ounces and pounds. We know that 1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces.

Step 2 ：So, we can set up the conversion like this: \(\frac{48 \text{ ounces}}{1} \times \frac{1 \text{ pound}}{16 \text{ ounces}}\)

Step 3 ：The ounces units cancel out, leaving us with pounds. So, we just need to do the multiplication and division: \(48 \div 16 = 3\)
