To determine how many one-ounce bags of trail mix Ben can make from a 3-pound bag, we first need to convert the weight of the trail mix from pounds to ounces.

1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, to convert 3 pounds to ounces:

$$
3 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 48 \text{ ounces}
$$

Now that we know Ben has 48 ounces of trail mix, we can find out how many one-ounce bags he can make:

$$
\text{Number of one-ounce bags} = \frac{\text{Total ounces}}{\text{Ounces per bag}} = \frac{48 \text{ ounces}}{1 \text{ ounce/bag}} = 48 \text{ bags}
$$

Thus, Ben can give one-ounce bags of trail mix to **48 friends**.
Ben can give one-ounce bags to 48 friends.
