    The answer is: 175 grams of fat are in the round.

    m (ground round) = 1.33 ib.

    First convert ib (pounds) to g (grams):

    1 pound (lb) is equal to 453.592 grams (g).

    m (ground round) = 1.33 ib · 453.592 g/ib.

    m (ground round) = 603.28 g.

    ω (fat) = 29% : 100%.

    ω (fat) = 0.29; mass percentage of fat.

    m (fat) = ω (fat) · m (ground round).

    m (fat) = 0.29 · 603.28 g.

    m (fat) = 175 g; mass of fat.
