4 lb

To find the total weight of the chicken dish in pounds, we need to convert the given weights from ounces to pounds and then add them together.

1 pound = 16 ounces

First, let's convert the weight of the chicken from ounces to pounds:

40 ounces = 40/16 pounds = 2.5 pounds (rounding to one decimal place)

Now, let's convert the weight of the vegetables from ounces to pounds:

10 ounces = 10/16 pounds ≈ 0.625 pounds (rounding to three decimal places)

Finally, let's convert the weight of the rice from ounces to pounds:

14 ounces = 14/16 pounds ≈ 0.875 pounds (rounding to three decimal places)

To find the total weight of the chicken dish, we add the weights of the chicken, vegetables, and rice:

Total weight = 2.5 pounds (chicken) + 0.625 pounds (vegetables) + 0.875 pounds (rice)

Total weight = 4 pounds (rounding to one decimal place)

So, the total weight of the chicken dish is 4 pounds.
