#7 1/2# pounds or #7# pounds #8# ounces.

If you are to make #40# tarts, you will need #40# times as much flour as for #1# tart.

#40 xx 3= 120# ounces

Now you need to find out how many pounds that is.
There are #16# ounces to a pound.

#120 div 16 = 7 1/2#

You will need #7 1/2# pounds, or #7# pounds #8# ounces
