Answer 1

Let's start with our conversion factor for ounces and pounds.

16 ounces = 1 pound

Now, let's writ down what we know.

1 bag of chips = 4 ounces

2 bags of chips = 8 ounces

3 bags of chips = 12 ounces

4 bags of chips = 16 ounces or 1 pound

5 bags of chips = 20 ounces

6 bags of chips = 24 ounces

7 bags of chips = 28 ounces

8 bags of chips = 32 ounces or 2 pounds

Now, it's very easy to see that 8 bags of chips is not more than 3 pounds.
