There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So if you have 3 pounds of cream cheese, you have 48 ounces. Therefore, if all you need is 5 - 8oz packages (40 oz. total), then you have more than enough.

How many packages of cream cheese equals 2 pounds?

There are 16 ounces to a pound, thus an 8 ounce package of cream cheese is 1/2 pound. If you want 2 1/2 pounds of cream cheese, you want 5 packages of cream cheese.I assume that "2 12 pounds" means 2 1/2 pounds, but if you wanted a different amount, you can do one of the following calculations:a) Multiply the number of pounds by 2 (which is the same as dividing by the 1/2 lb weight of the package of cream cheese) to determine the number of packages;orb) Convert the number of pounds to ounces by multiplying by 16, then dividing that amount by 8 (the weight of the package of cream cheese in ounces) to determine the number of packages.
