There are sixteen ounces in a pound, by American weight. If the deli scale shows, for example, 1.25, that means that the 1 means one pound, and the .25 means a quarter of a pound (use your knowledge of decimal math: .25 = quarter, or 25%, .5 = half, or 50 %, etc.)
If you need to know the total ounces that represents, 1 = 16 ounces
and .25 is one quarter of sixteen, and 16 divided by 4, = 4 ounces
Add sixteen and four, and you get 20 ounces total weight.
Keep in mind that if the item being weighed is in a container, the container has weight of its own. The deli clerk should subtract the container's weight (T.A.R.E.) from the total weight, so that you don't pay the item's per pound price for the container.
You read ounces on a digital scale, by reading what is after the decimal point. Any numbers after the decimal point are ounces.
