Explanation:

Step1: Separate the whole number part

The whole number part of \(8.9\) is \(8\), which represents the pounds.

Step2: Convert the decimal part to ounces

Since \(1\) pound \( = 16\) ounces, for the decimal part \(0.9\) pounds, we calculate \(0.9\times16=14.4\). Rounding \(14.4\) to the whole number gives \(14\) ounces.

Answer:

\(8\) lbs \(14\) ounces
