How many ounces are in one pound 12 ounces?

Answer 1

It doesn't. One avoirdupois pound equals 16 avoirdupois ounces. One troy pound equals 12 troy ounces.

If the system is not named, avoirdupois is implied because it is more common. Therefore we always say 'there are 16 ounces per pound'.

Answer 2

0.75 or 3/4 lb. One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."

Answer 3

1 pound = 16 ounces, so answer = 28 ounces

Answer 4

Because in the US most things are weighed using the Avoirdupois System.

Answer 5

There are 28 ounces in one pound. Therefore, 1 pound 12 ounces is equivalent to 28 + 12 = 40 ounces.
