To find the total weight of the lettuce and carrots in ounces, we first need to convert the weights of the carrots from pounds to ounces.

1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

Samuel bought two 1-pound bags of carrots:
- Weight of carrots in ounces = 2 pounds × 16 ounces/pound = 32 ounces.

Now, we add the weight of the lettuce to the weight of the carrots:
- Weight of lettuce = 8 ounces
- Weight of carrots = 32 ounces

Total weight = 8 ounces + 32 ounces = 40 ounces.

So, the total weight of the lettuce and carrots is **40 ounces**.
