There are 16 ounces in a pound.
Those units of measure do not convert.
In a pound of what? Fluid ounces is a measure of volume. Pound is a measure of weight. The number of fluid ounces in a pound is going to depend on the density of the substance in question. A pound of mercury is much smaller in volume (and thus has fewer fluid ounces) than a pound of water. If we are speaking of water, or something equivalent, 1 ounce of water by weight fills up one fluid ounce of space, so a pound of water (16 oz) is 16 fluid ounces, or 1 pint.
Sorry, your question is wrong. Fluid ounces are used for measuring in cups. Ounces are used for pounds.There are 16 OUNCES in a pound. Note: Fluid ounces are not used for pounds. Fluid ounces are for capacity, and regular ounces are for weight.
To convert ounces to pounds, you would divide the number of ounces by 16, since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
There is not a universal conversion factor or formula because fluid ounces measure volume and pound is a measure of weight; two different properties. You would need to know the density of the ingredient in question - how many ounces by weight per fluid ounce. Once you know the density, you can multiply the fluid ounces of the ingredient by the density then divide by 16 ounces by weight per pound. (Density * Fluid Oz)/16 = Pounds
To convert pounds to ounces, you can use the ratio of 16 ounces per 1 pound. So, to convert 88 pounds to ounces: 88 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 1,408 ounces Therefore, 88 pounds is equal to 1,408 ounces.
A pound is, approximately, a pound. A US pound is sixteen ounces.
One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."
1/2 lb. One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."
The ratio would be 1 pound = 16 ounces.
16.9 fluid ounces (US) is the same as 1/2 liter or 500ml.
