Answer 1

To convert ounces to pounds, you can use the conversion factor that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

To find out how many pounds are in 128 ounces, you can divide the number of ounces by the number of ounces in a pound:

\[ \text{Pounds} = \frac{\text{Ounces}}{16} = \frac{128}{16} = 8 \]

So, 128 ounces is equal to 8 pounds.

128 ounces = 8 pounds.
