To make the comparison between the given masses, we convert one unit of measurement to the other. It would be better to convert the pounds to ounces as every pound is consist of 16 ounces.

(a) Weight 1: 45 ounces
(b) Weight 2: (3 pounds)(16 ounces/1 pound) = 48 ounces

Therefore, the second pack weighed more.
