#2 lbs xx 16 = 32ozs#

Explanation:

1 Pound has 16 ounces. (#1lb = 16 ozs#)

Therefore for 2 pounds:

#2 lbs xx 16 = 32ozs#

Conversions between the units in the The Imperial system are a real nightmare.

Ounces are used in both weight and capacity!

16 ounces make 1 pound, but 16 fluid ounces make 1 pint.
