Answer:
4 pounds.
Step-by-step 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.
\(\text{Total weight of the chicken dish in pounds}=\frac{64}{16}\)
\(\text{Total weight of the chicken dish in pounds}=4\)
Therefore, the weight of the chicken dish was 4 pounds.
