What is Ounce?

The ounce is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to one-sixteenth of a pound, or exactly 28.349523125 grams. It is widely used in the United States for food packaging, postal rates, and portion sizes. Boxing gloves are rated in ounces (such as 8 oz or 10 oz), and restaurant menus often describe steak sizes in ounces. Note that the fluid ounce is a separate unit of volume and should not be confused with the ounce of mass.

What is Pound?

The pound is the basic unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Its name derives from the Latin "libra pondo" (a pound by weight), which also gives us the abbreviation "lb." In the United States, the pound is used for nearly all everyday weight measurements, from body weight to grocery items sold by the pound. In the United Kingdom, while metrication has progressed significantly, many people still express their body weight in stones and pounds.
