Answer:

Answers in order: 48 ounces, Yes

Explanation:

The way I can tell this is 48 is that a pound is 16 ounces.

Multiply 16 by 3 (the number of pounds) to get 48 ounces.

For the second question make an inequality.

48 > 41

If the inequality is true then the answer is yes. If the inequality is false then the answer is false.
