For this case we must make a conversion.

We know, by definition, that 1 ounce is equivalent to 0.0625 pounds.

We make a rule of three to determine how many pounds are 32 ounces.

1oz ---------------> 0.0625lb

32oz -------------> x

DOnde "x" represents the number of pounds


x = \frac {32 * 0.0625} {1}\\x = 2

So, 32 ounces equals 2 pounds

Answer:

2 pounds
