Ounces (oz) and pounds (lb) are both units of weight commonly used in the United States and other countries that follow the Imperial system. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, making it simple to convert between the two units using basic multiplication or division.
Everyday applications such as cooking, shipping, fitness, and product labeling often require switching between ounces and pounds. For example, food labels might display weights in ounces, while shipping services and gym weights might prefer pounds.
Always double-check the unit being used, especially when dealing with precise weight limits (e.g., airline baggage, shipping packages). A small mistake in conversion could lead to costly overages or compliance issues.
