【How-to】How do you convert decimals to ounces

To convert tenths of a pound to ounces, start by multiplying the numbers to the right of the decimal point by 16, since there are 16 ounces in every pound. If, for example, you’re working with 17.5 pounds, you would multiply 0.5 by 16 to get 8. That means your final answer would be 17 pounds, 8 ounces.
