Christine bought 48 ounces of nuts at the store. How much is this in pounds?

To convert ounces to pounds, we need to know the conversion factor between these two units. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

Given:
\[ 1 \text{ pound} = 16 \text{ ounces} \]

Christine bought 48 ounces of nuts. To find out how many pounds this is, we use the conversion factor:
\[ \text{Number of pounds} = \frac{\text{Number of ounces}}{16} \]

Substitute the given value:
\[ \text{Number of pounds} = \frac{48 \text{ ounces}}{16} \]

Perform the division:
\[ \text{Number of pounds} = 3 \text{ pounds} \]

So, 48 ounces of nuts is equal to 3 pounds.
