#4# lb

#64# oz

We know that one lb (pound) is equal to #16# oz (ounces), which can also be written as #(1 " lb")/(16 " oz")#

#64 " oz" xx (1 " lb")/(16 " oz")#

The ounces cancel out:
#64 cancel(" oz") xx (1 " lb")/(16 cancel(" oz"))#

We are left with pounds.

Divide and we get #4 " lb"#.

Hope this helps!
