In the world, there are 16 ounces in a pound. This measurement is consistent across the United States customary system and the British imperial system. It is important to note that while the ounce and pound units are widely used in the U.S. and some other countries, many parts of the world use the metric system, where mass is measured in grams and kilograms.
For a more detailed breakdown:
- 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)
- 1 ounce = 1/16 of a pound
This conversion is a standard that applies universally where these units are used. For additional information, you can find resources detailing these measurements here.
