Multiply Pounds and Ounces: Learn

Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, this is how to multiply pounds and ounces:

  • Convert pounds-and-ounces amounts to ounces only. To do so, multiply the pounds by 16 and add the ounces.
  • Multiply.
  • Convert the ounces back to pounds and ounces by dividing by 16.
  • The quotient is the number of pounds and the remainder is the number of ounces.

Example: Multiply 5 pounds 6 ounces times 4:

  • 5*16+6 = 86 ounces
  • 86*4 = 344 ounces
  • 344÷16 = 21R8
  • Final answer: 21 pounds 8 ounces
