Answer: 13 pounds

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are asked to convert 208 ounces into pounds which means we use the conversion factor for ounces and pounds.

Conversion factor ⇒ 16 ounces = 1 pound

Next, notice that we are 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 208 by the conversion factor which is 16.

208 : 16 = 13

Therefore, there are 13 pounds in 208 ounces.
