For this case we must perform a conversion. By definition we have to:
1 pound equals 16 ounces.
Thus, making a rule of three we have:
1lb -------------> 16oz
x ----------------> 20oz
Where "x" represents the amount of pounds equivalent to 20 ounces.
[tex]x = \frac {20 * 1} {16}\\x = 1.25[/tex]
Finally we have 20 ounces equal to 1.25 pounds.
