Convert to same units, then a comparison can be made: 1 lb = 16 oz → 2 lb = 2 × 16 oz = 32 oz < 42 oz Thus 2 lb is smaller than 42 oz.
These days it is easier to convert to ounces, do the division and convert back to pounds and ounces: 1 lb = 16 oz → 8 lb 3 oz ÷ 3 = (8 × 16) + 3 oz / 3 = 131 oz ÷ 3 = 43⅔ oz = (2 × 16) + 11⅔ oz = 2 lb 11⅔ oz Alternatively, you can do the division as it stands, but convert fractions of pounds to ounces: 8 lb 3 oz ÷ 3 = 8 ÷ 3 lb 3 ÷ 3 oz = 2⅔ lb 1 oz = 2 lb ⅔ lb 1 oz = 2 lb ⅔ × 16 + 1 oz = 2 lb 11⅔ oz

12 lb is bigger than 8 oz. 1/2 lb is the same as 8 oz.
4 lb 6 oz = 70 oz1 lb = 16 oz4 lb = 16 * 4 = 64 oz4 lb 6 oz = 64 oz + 6 oz = 70 oz
40 oz (1 lb/16 oz) = 2 and 1/2 pounds
40 oz = 2 lb and 8.00 oz
40 ounces = 2 pounds 8 ounces.
8 oz + 9 lb 8 oz = 10 lb 2 lb 4 oz + 10 lb = 12 lb 4 oz 8 oz + 2 lb 4 oz = 2 lb 12 oz
[ 11 lb + 12 oz ] + [ 6 lb + 6 oz ] =[ 11 lb + 6 lb ] + [ 12 oz + 6 oz ] =[ 17 lb ] + [ 18 oz ] =[ 17 lb ] + [ 1 lb + 2 oz ] =18 lb 2 oz
One pound is 16 ounces, so 40 ounces would be 3 pounds and 2 ounces OR 3 1/8 pounds.
5 lb 8 oz - 3 lb 2 oz = 2 lb 6 oz.

Convert to same units, then a comparison can be made: 1 lb = 16 oz → 2 lb = 2 × 16 oz = 32 oz < 42 oz Thus 2 lb is smaller than 42 oz.
37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz37 oz = 2 lb and 5.00 oz
Convert to same units - I'll convert to ounces: 1 lb = 16oz ⇒ 2lb = 2 x 16oz = 32 oz 33oz > 32 oz Therefore 33 ounces are heavier than 2 pounds.
