Explanation:

Step1: Convert grams to pounds

We know that \(1\) pound (\(lb\)) \( = 453.592\) grams (\(g\)).
Let \(x\) be the weight in pounds. Then \(x=\frac{3200}{453.592}\approx 7.055\) pounds.
The integer part of \(x\) gives the number of pounds. So, the number of pounds \( = 7\) pounds.

Step2: Calculate the remaining grams for ounces

The remaining grams \(=3200-(7\times453.592)=3200 - 3175.144 = 24.856\) grams.
We know that \(1\) ounce (\(oz\)) \(=28.3495\) grams.
Let \(y\) be the weight in ounces. Then \(y=\frac{24.856}{28.3495}\approx 0.877\approx1\) ounce (rounded to the whole number).

Answer:

\(7\) lbs \(1\) oz
