Answer 2

4 pounds.

Explanation:

We have been given that Afton made a chicken dish for dinner. She added a 10-ounce package of vegetables vegetables and a 14- ounce package of rice to 40 ounces of chicken.

First of all let us find the total weight of chicken dish in ounces.

`\text{Total weight of the chicken dish}=\text{10 oz+14 oz+40 oz}`

`\text{Total weight of the chicken dish}=\text{64 oz}`

Let us divide total weight of chicken dish by 16 as 1 pound equals to 16 ounces.

`\text{Total weight of the chicken dish in pounds}=(64)/(16)`

`\text{Total weight of the chicken dish in pounds}=4`

Therefore, the weight of the chicken dish was 4 pounds.
