How to convert pounds to ounces

1 lb = 16 oz, so multiply by 16 to go from pounds to ounces (avoirdupois) of butter. Going the other way, 1 oz = 0.0625 lb.

oz = lb × 16
lb = oz × 0.0625

Cups and spoons convert to weight using the weight per cup for butter shown in the result; how the ingredient is measured (spooned, packed, sifted) changes it.

Worked example:

5 lb = 2267.96185 g
2267.96185 g ÷ 28.349523125 g per oz = 80 oz
