Answer: 47 pounds is approximately 3 stones and 5 pounds.
Explanation: To convert pounds to stones and pounds, divide the total pounds by 14 (since 1 stone = 14 pounds).
Steps:
- Divide 47 by 14: \( 47 \div 14 = 3.357 \) stones.
- The whole number part is 3 stones.
- To find the remaining pounds, calculate \( 47 - (3 \times 14) = 47 - 42 = 5 \) pounds.
Thus, 47 pounds is equivalent to 3 stones and 5 pounds.
