How Many Ounces Makes a Pound

Throughout our lives we tend to use metric conversions quite often without even realizing what we're doing. Many times we use conversions when cooking our favorite meals and desserts. Other times we have to use metric conversions when combining cleaning mixtures. And often times we use metric conversions when we decide to make special drinks for large groups of people. One of the most common conversions that people tend to ask themselves is how many ounces makes a pound. To answer this (so that we don't go awry in our creativities and homemade concoctions), it is important that we remember that it is 16 ounces that make 1 pound.
