Two ounces out of 16 ounces, reduced to its lowest common denominator reads one-eighth (divide both numbers by two).
This says to me that two ounces equals one eighth of a pound, not eight-tenths of a pound.
2 lb = 32.0000 oz2 lb = 32.0000 oz2 lb = 32.0000 oz2 lb = 32.0000 oz2 lb = 32.0000 oz2 lb = 32.0000 oz
2 lb 8oz or 2 1 lb. - 2
1 lb = 16 oz 2 lb = 32 oz 3 lb = 48 oz 6 lb = 96 oz
37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz
8 oz + 9 lb 8 oz = 10 lb 2 lb 4 oz + 10 lb = 12 lb 4 oz 8 oz + 2 lb 4 oz = 2 lb 12 oz
16 oz = 1 lb 32 oz = 2 lb 48 oz = 3 lb

[ 11 lb + 12 oz ] + [ 6 lb + 6 oz ] =[ 11 lb + 6 lb ] + [ 12 oz + 6 oz ] =[ 17 lb ] + [ 18 oz ] =[ 17 lb ] + [ 1 lb + 2 oz ] =18 lb 2 oz
16 oz. = 1 lb.; so 32 oz. = 2 lb.
1 lb=16 oz, so 2 lb 2 oz = 16*2+2=34 oz
