To convert pounds to ounces we can use a conversion factor. For instance, a conversion factor can be used to turn 2 pounds to ounces. Lets do that real fast.

First we need to find out how many pounds are in an ounce. 

1 pound = 16 ounces  
OR
1:16
OR
1 lb/ 16 ounce
OR
16 ounces / 1 lb

Now to convert we just use the conversion factor by multiplying the pounds by the conversion factor 16 ounces / 1 lb
[tex]2 \; lb \times \frac{16 \; ounces}{1 \; lb} = 32 \; ounces[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation: To convert pounds into ounces, we need to start with a conversion factor for pounds and ounces which is 16 ounces = 1 pound.

Next, since we are going from a larger unit "pounds" to a smaller unit "ounces" we will multiply the pounds by our conversion factor.

Finally, our product will be our answer.
