How do you convert pounds to ounces?

Answer by  technogeek (6640)

There are 16 ounces in one pound, so if you know the pounds of a certain object, then you multiply the number of pounds by 16 and you will know how many ounces that object weighs. Conversely, if you know the number of ounces, you simply divide that number by 16 and you will have the pounds.

Each regular, or avoirdupois, pound contains sixteen ounces. So just multiply the number of pounds by 16 to get the number of ounces.
