ounce
8 ounces or 1/2 a pound Half of 4 pounds = 2 pounds Quarter of 4 pounds = 1 pound Eighth of 4 pounds = half a pound. Half a pound weight is 8 ounces but half a British pound (money) is 50 pence.
They key point to note is that "of" in mathematics means "multiplied by." For example, 6 lots of 4 means 6x4. Thus "one eighth of half" can be written as 1/8 x1/2. Multiplying these two fractions together gives 1/16. Thus we need to know what weight is 1/16 of a pound. An ounce is 1/16 of a pound, thus the answer to the question is one ounce.
When dividing imperial measurements, it can help to convert them first into smaller imperial measurements. In this case we can convert the pound into 16 ounces, as there are 16 ounces in a pound. Thus the question asks what is 1/8 x 1/2 x 16 oz. To multiply fractions, you multiply numerator and denominator. Thus the question simplifies to 16/16 oz, which =1. Therefore, one eighth of half a pound is 1 ounce.
There are 4 eighths in half a pound. This is because half a pound is equivalent to 8 ounces, and since an eighth of a pound is 2 ounces, you can fit 4 eighths into the 8 ounces that make up half a pound.
1/2 pound = 226.796 grams.
Yes, 0.5 is half a pound. In the context of weight, 0.5 pounds is equivalent to one-half of a pound.
