Question

What fractional part of a pound is an ounce

Answer 1

we know that

`1pound` -------> is equal to ------>
`16 ounces`

So

By proportion

`(1)/(16)(pound)/(ounces) =(x)/(1)(pounds)/(ounce) \\ \\ x=(1)/(16) pounds`

therefore

the answer is

one ounce is equal to
`(1)/(16)`
`pounds`

Answer 2

Since there are 16 oz in 1lb, 1/16 of a pound is one ounce.
