Answer:

240

Explanation:

ok, so first you look closely at the problem. convert pounds to ounces, since you dont have enough to do it the other way. so if 1 pound is 16 ounces, 3 pounds is 48. he has 48 ounces. if 10 ounces makes 60, 40 ounces makes 240. now you have 8 left. now im not sure about this part, but if you took the 8 left over, and if 10 ounces makes 60, 8 ounces makes 48 more.
