2 pounds equals how many ounces?

1 Answer

Mar 17, 2017

$2 l b s \times 16 = 32 o z s$ $2 lbs xx 16 = 32ozs$

Explanation:

1 Pound has 16 ounces. ( $1 l b = 16 o z s$ $1lb = 16 ozs$ )

Therefore for 2 pounds:

$2 l b s \times 16 = 32 o z s$ $2 lbs xx 16 = 32ozs$

Conversions between the units in the The Imperial system are a real nightmare.

Ounces are used in both weight and capacity!

16 ounces make 1 pound, but 16 fluid ounces make 1 pint.
