How many fifths are in a pound?

Well, you have to split it into five parts.

So 100=1 pound

100:5=20⇒20%

So you change 20% to a decimal

20%⇒20⇒.20 (divide by 100)

You then multiply

There are 16 ounces in a pound

16*.20=3.2ounces (oz)

There are five fifths in a pound or to be more exact, there are five 3.2oz in a pound
