Pounds to ounces multiplies by 16 — 1 lb = 16 oz avoirdupois by definition. The factor of 16 makes mental math easier than the metric equivalents: 2.5 lb is 40 oz, 0.75 lb is 12 oz. Beware troy ounces (used for gold and silver): 1 troy lb = 12 troy oz, not 16, and 1 troy oz = 31.1035 g compared with 28.35 g for the everyday avoirdupois ounce.
Recipe scaling in the US runs on this constantly when a bulk pound-based ingredient purchase needs to be portioned into ounce-sized servings — 1 lb is 16 oz, 2.5 lb is 40 oz, and 0.75 lb is 12 oz. Because the ratio is a flat 16, this is the one weight conversion most American home cooks do by mental arithmetic rather than reaching for an app, doubling or halving from the familiar whole-pound benchmarks.
