Answer
$\frac{9}{4}$ lb or 2.25 lb
Work Step by Step
36 oz = lb
Use a unit fraction with pounds (the unit for your answer) in the numerator, and ounces (the unit being changed) in the denominator. Because16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb), the necessary unit fraction is
$\frac{1 lb}{16 oz}$
Multiply 36 oz times the unit fraction.
36 * $\frac{1 lb}{16 oz}$ = $\frac{9}{4}$ lb = 2.25 lb
