72 oz=? lbs

First I divided 16 from 72 and got 5 remainder 2.
Then I turned it into a mixed fraction as: 5 2/6
When I got this I was truly stumped. Either I did the steps wrong or I am missing a step or I just don't know what to do next.
HELP ME PLEASE:) :(

72 / 16 = 4.5 pounds.
Optimum says thanks ;) :)
Don't know what you were doing, but

72รท 16 = 4 1/2

so we have 4 lbs and 8 ounces.

The other option is to go metric and avoid complicated calculation in the imperial system
Also how exactly did you get that answer because I am utterly confused.
Thank you for EXPLAINING it Reiny :D
