In the imperial system of measurement, weight is commonly measured in pounds (lbs) and ounces (oz). There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. To find out how many ounces are in half a pound, you simply divide:
16 ounces÷2-8 ounces.
So, half a pound equals 8 ounces.
This relationship is used in everyday applications such as cooking, baking, and weighing objects. For example, if a recipe calls for half a pound of butter, you would measure out 8 ounces.
