Use the factor label method.
The equality for converting units is
1 # = 16 oz
and the unit equation (referring to "1") is:
1 = 16 oz / #
So if you have 1/8 of a pound, be careful to write the # sign on top:
1#/8 = 1#/8 (16 oz / #)
cancel the #'s
1#/8 = 1/8 (16 oz)
1#/8 = 16/8 oz
1#/8 = 2 oz
2 ounces

There are 16 oz. in a pound
16 divided by 8 = 2
So 1/8 pound = 2 oz.
