To convert ounces to pounds, we divide the number of ounces by 16: 3.6 oz รท 16 oz/lb = 0.225 lbs.
1 pound is approximately equal to 453.592 grams, so to convert pounds to grams, we multiply the number of pounds by 453.592: 0.225 lbs * 453.592 g/lb = 102.308 grams.
Therefore, the pharmacist needs to prepare 102.308 grams of ointment.
