Well, there are 16 oz. in one pound, so you do 48/16. Your answer is 3 pounds, so the online converter was wrong. Maybe you typed the wrong number or something.

Multiply by a conversion ratio. The ratio will technically equal to 1, so multiplying by it doesn't change the original value. But you can change the units this way.
48 oz * (1 lb/16 oz)
Since 1 lb = 16 oz, their ratio in the parentheses is equal to one.
(48 oz·lb)/(16 oz) = 48/16 lb = 3 lb

Each pound is 16 ounces. So divide 48 by 16 and you get 4 pounds.
Maybe you picked the wrong scaling on that converter.

Three lbs. One lb. equals 16 ozs.

1 pound = 16oz

4 pounds = 48oz
4 pounds is your answer.
