How Many Ounces In A Pound

After the question: How many feet in a mile, which is 5279 by the way, we got our next question which is often asked to me. Don’t ask me why they ask me, they just do.

The next question: How many ounces in a pound?

Ok, lets explain this a bit.

1 Ounce = 28,35 Grams
1 Pound = 453,592 Grams

So how do we get our answer? Yes, you’re right.

453,592 / 28,35 = 16

And there is your answer folks. There are 16 ounces in a pound.

So, now you can answer 2 more questions if people ask you the question.

1. How many feet in a mile.
2. How many ounces in a pound.

Have a nice day.
