Answer: 4.5 pounds

Explanation: To convert 72 ounces into pounds, we use the conversion factor for ounces and pounds which is 16 ounces = 1 pound.

Next, notice that we're going from a smaller unit, ounces, to a larger unit, pounds and when we go from a smaller unit to a larger unit, we divide. So here, we divide 72 by the conversion factor, 16, to get 4.5.

So 72 ounces equals 4.5 pounds.
