تحويل الأونصة إلى الرطل: الطهي والشحن والتغذية

There are exactly 16 ounces in 1 pound. This relationship is precise and has been standardized for centuries. To convert any number of ounces to pounds, divide by 16. For example: 32 ounces ÷ 16 = 2 pounds, or 24 ounces ÷ 16 = 1.5 pounds. The reverse is equally simple: multiply pounds by 16 to get ounces (3 pounds × 16 = 48 ounces).

The United States never officially adopted the metric system, despite multiple attempts throughout history. The imperial system remains deeply embedded in American infrastructure, commerce, and culture. Food recipes, nutrition labels, body weight measurements, and shipping all use pounds and ounces. However, scientists and medical professionals in the US use metric measurements for precision. The coexistence of both systems reflects American history and practical necessity rather than any technical advantage.
