To find the total weight of the chicken dish in pounds, we need to convert the weights from ounces to pounds and then calculate the sum.
First, let's convert the weights from ounces to pounds:
- 10 ounces of vegetables = 10/16 = 0.625 pounds (since 1 pound = 16 ounces)
- 14 ounces of rice = 14/16 = 0.875 pounds
Next, we add up the weights:
- 0.625 pounds of vegetables + 0.875 pounds of rice + 40 ounces of chicken (to be converted to pounds)
To convert 40 ounces to pounds, we divide by 16:
- 40 ounces of chicken = 40/16 = 2.5 pounds
Finally, we add up the weights:
- 0.625 pounds of vegetables + 0.875 pounds of rice + 2.5 pounds of chicken = 4 pounds
Therefore, the total weight of the chicken dish is 4 pounds.
