To convert 9 pounds and 4 ounces to pounds, we first need to convert the ounces to pounds.

There are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, we can convert 4 ounces to pounds as follows:

$$
4 \text{ oz} = \frac{4}{16} \text{ lbs} = 0.25 \text{ lbs}
$$

Now, we can add this to the 9 pounds:

$$
9 \text{ lbs} + 0.25 \text{ lbs} = 9.25 \text{ lbs}
$$

Finally, rounding 9.25 to the nearest tenth gives us:

$$
9.3 \text{ lbs}
$$

Thus, $$ 9 \text{ lbs } 4 \text{ oz} = 9.3 \text{ lbs} $$.
$$ 9 \text{ lbs } 4 \text{ oz} = 9.3 \text{ lbs} $$.

Convert the following. Round to the nearest tenth. 9 lbs \( 4 \mathrm{oz}=\ldots \)
