Conversion from pound to ounce example

Starting value Increment Accuracy

To convert pound to ounce, multiply by 16.

1 lb = 16 oz

Example: 1 pound = 16 ounce

The everyday avoirdupois ounce is about 28.35 g, but precious metals are priced in troy ounces of about 31.10 g. An 'ounce of gold' is nearly 10% heavier than an ounce of flour. Use troy ounces for gold and silver, the regular ounce for everything else.
The 'just double it' shortcut from kilograms to pounds hides a 10% error: a kilogram is about 2.205 lb, so 80 kg is 176 lb, not 160. Multiply by 2.2 instead: double the number, then add 10%.
A stone is often assumed to be 10 pounds, but it is 14 pounds, about 6.35 kg. A body weight of '12 stone' is therefore about 76 kg, not 54 kg. Multiply stone by 6.35 to get kilograms.
