Abbreviation of lb.? | Unit of Measurements.
Abbreviation of lb. (pound)
" lb." is a shortened version of the word " Pound." The pound is a unit of weight commonly used in the imperial system of measurement. It is also used in the US customary system. The pound is often used to measure the weight of objects, people, and ingredients. The pound has a long history and dates back to ancient Roman and Egyptian measurement systems.
It was adopted in various forms by different cultures over time and eventually became standardized. In the imperial system, one pound is equal to 16 ounces. In the US customary system, it is also equal to 16 ounces. In the avoirdupois system, which is commonly used for everyday weights, one avoirdupois pound is approximately equal to 0.4536 kilograms.
The symbol for pound is "lb." It comes from the Latin word "libra," which means "balance" or "scales." The abbreviation "lb" is derived from the medieval Latin word "libra pondo," which means "pound weight." Pounds are widely used for measuring body weight, as well as the weight of objects and ingredients. In everyday life, pounds are used in various contexts such as grocery shopping, cooking, and industrial applications.
The pound is divided into 16 ounces. Each ounce is equal to 1/16th of a pound. This division is used for finer measurements within the pound unit. In some contexts, particularly in finance, the pound sign (£) is used to represent the British currency, the pound sterling. However, this symbol is not used to denote pounds as a unit of weight.
