Ounces to pounds

One pound is exactly 16 ounces, so dividing by 16 gives you pounds as a decimal. The whole number is your pounds. Multiply what's left over by 16 to turn it back into ounces.

1. Divide by 16 to get pounds 20 ÷ 16 = 1.25 lb
2. Keep the whole pounds round down 1.25 → 1 lb
3. Turn the leftover into ounces (1.25 − 1) × 16 = 4 oz
