what fractional part of a pound is an ounce
Since there are 16 oz in 1lb, 1/16 of a pound is one ounce.
Hope I helped!
Best of Luck :)
we know that
\(1pound\) -------> is equal to ------> \(16 ounces\)
So
By proportion
\(\frac{1}{16}\frac{pound}{ounces} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{pounds}{ounce} \\ \\ x=\frac{1}{16} pounds\)
therefore
the answer is
one ounce is equal to \(\frac{1}{16}\) \(pounds\)
