Pound and ounce are imperial weight units. There are 16 ounces in a pound. 1 Pound = 16 Ounces. Ounces and pounds are widely-used as units of weight measurement in the USA, Canada, Great Britain and some other countries. The ounce is especially popular in old cooking books.
The pound was once used almost in all the European countries, but it was replaced by grams after the adoption of the international metric system. Pounds and ounces are common units but if you ask people how many ounces there are in one pound, you can get two different answers â 12 or 16 ounces. And both of them will be right ones. The point is that there are two main weight systems: Avoirdupois and Troy.
