Well there are 16 ounces per pound, so you would solve the equation
88 oz * 1 lb/16 oz
Or simply divide 88 by 16.

First one has to make an assumption of what material you have 88 oz of.... there are 16 oz/pound in standard measurements HOWEVER, there are 12 TROY oz/pound. Therefore if your 88 oz is a precious metal (gold, silver, platinum) you would have 88/12 = 7 1/3 pound but if you have 88 oz of water you have 88/16 = 5 1/2 pounds.
