Which of the following operations is used for converting ounces to pounds?

Divide
Add
Multiply
None

The correct answer is: Divide

To convert ounces to pounds, you utilize division because there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, to find the number of pounds corresponding to a specific number of ounces, you divide the number of ounces by 16. For instance, if you have 32 ounces, you would calculate it as 32 ÷ 16, which results in 2 pounds. This illustrates how division effectively converts ounces into pounds by using the established relationship between the two units of measurement.
