Is 32 ounces equal to 1 quart or 2 pounds?

32 ounces is equal to 1 quart, not 2 pounds.

To clarify:

• 1 quart is equivalent to 32 fluid ounces in the United States. This is a volume measurement, typically used for liquids.
• 2 pounds, on the other hand, refers to weight (mass), and 32 ounces would equal 2 pounds, but only if you are talking about weight. This applies to solid substances or items where weight is measured in ounces or pounds.

So, depending on the context—volume or weight—the answer changes. For liquids, 32 ounces is 1 quart, but for weight, it equals 2 pounds.
