When competing hypotheses are equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces
the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

I personally like either of the ways that have already been offered, but
there's one more to consider:
=CONVERT(16,"ozm","lbm")
but it does require the Analysis ToolPak add-in be active to use without a
#NAME error taking place (thus my preference for doing it "the hard way" as
Gary''s Student and Mike H have offered up).
