Ounces to pounds divides by 16. A 24 oz steak is 1.5 lb; a 12 oz can is 0.75 lb. Used mostly to compress a long ounce count back into a pound-and-ounces format for shipping or grocery labels. US food packaging frequently dual-labels ("1 lb 4 oz / 567 g"); the conversion lives at the boundary between bulk and portion sizes.
Every US kitchen scale and postal counter runs on this pairing since sixteen ounces make a pound exactly — 8 oz is 0.5 lb, 12 oz is 0.75 lb, and 40 oz is 2.5 lb. Because the factor is a clean 1/16, it's one of the few weight conversions worth memorising rather than calculating: halve twice to get quarters, halve three times for eighths, and you can eyeball most kitchen quantities without a device.
