How many ounces is 1 lb of ricotta cheese?

Yes. 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."

That's why you can convert the two IF the liquid in question is water. If it's not water, you have to find the density of the substance and and divide the weight by the density to get the volume.

There are 16 fluid ounces in 1 pint. However, ricotta cheese is not a liquid, so we need to convert the volume to weight. The density of ricotta cheese is approximately 0.95 grams per milliliter, which is equivalent to about 0.034 ounces per milliliter.
