Given that 1 lb = 16 oz, change 38 oz to lb. Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form when necessary.

To find the number of pounds, divide the total number of ounces by 16:

38 / 16  =  2 .375 pounds or 2 pounds 6 ounces.

To write 2 pounds 6 ounces as a mixed number, it becomes 2 and 6/16 pounds which is 2 3/8 pounds.
