Question

Convert as indicated.54 oz to__ lb__ oz

Answer 1

In order to convert any mass from oz to lb we need to divide the number by 16. This is done below:

$\begin{gathered} 54\text{ oz = }\frac{54}{16}\text{ lb} \\ 54\text{ oz = }3.375\text{ lb} \end{gathered}$

To convert back from lb to oz we need to multiply the value by 16, so we have:

$\begin{gathered} 0.375\text{ lb = 0.375}\cdot16\text{ oz} \\ 0.375\text{ lb = }6\text{ oz} \end{gathered}$
