  1. Calculate total chocolate chips: Determine the total amount of chocolate chips needed in ounces.\newlineSince the recipe calls for 88 ounces of chocolate chips per loaf and Myra is making 44 loaves, we multiply the amount of chocolate chips per loaf by the number of loaves.\newlineCalculation: 8 ounces/loaf×4 loaves=32 ounces8 \text{ ounces/loaf} \times 4 \text{ loaves} = 32 \text{ ounces}
  2. Convert to pounds: Convert the total amount of chocolate chips from ounces to pounds.\newlineWe know that there are 1616 ounces in 11 pound. To find out how many pounds 3232 ounces is, we divide the total ounces by the number of ounces in a pound.\newlineCalculation: 32 ounces16 ounces/pound=2\frac{32 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces/pound}} = 2 pounds
