Answer :
According to the given problem,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 16\text{ oz=1 lb} \\ 1\text{ oz=}\frac{1}{16}\text{ lb} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, conversion of 32 ounces into pounds is calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 32\text{ oz} \\ =32\times1\text{ oz} \\ =32\times(\frac{1}{16}\text{ lb}) \\ =\frac{32}{16}\text{ lb } \\ =2\text{ lb} \end{gathered}[/tex]So, 32 ounces of salt is equivalent to 2 pounds.
Therefore, first option is the correct choice.
