Imperial Weights

A newborn baby, a postal package, or a large cut of meat might be weighed initially in pure ounces. To make this number readable, we convert it to pounds and ounces.

The Ratio

There are exactly 16 (avoirdupois) ounces in one pound. Divide by 16 to find the whole pounds, and the remainder is the leftover ounces.
