Answer 1

The answer is 4 pounds

Answer 2

4 pounds

Explanation:

40 ounces of chicken+ 10 ounces of vegetables+ 14 ounces of rice= 64 ounces of the whole chicken dish.

Now, convert the number of ounces into pounds.

There are 16 ounces in a pound

Or

16 ounces=1 pound

So, divide 16 into 64 to get the number of pounds, which is 4.

Hope this helps!
