How many ounces in 1/4 of a pound?

##ulsquare oz = 1/4lb *(16oz/(1 lb) ##

There are ##16 oz -> 1lb## you have ##1/4 lb## so the ##1/4 cancel(lb) *16 (oz)/cancel(lb) = 4 lb##

you can use cross multiplication if you like:

## |(1 lb, (" "harr" "), 16 oz), (1/4 lb, (" " harr " "), ulsquare oz )|##

Cross multiply and you will get ##ulsquare oz = 1/4lb *(16oz/(1 lb) ##
