How much is a pound

A pound is a measurement of weight and not volume, so the answer to this question will vary depending on what you’re weighing. For example, if you are measuring an apple’s weight in pounds then one pound would equal 16 ounces or .45 kilograms. If you are measuring a package of ground meat for sale at your grocery store that weighs 1 lb., it may be more than 20% fat by weight – but only 4-5 inches thick! The size (and type) of the object being weighed determines how many pounds there are per item.
