Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.06: 500 × 0.06 ≈ 30 lb, against the exact 31.25 lb (4.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A ounce is smaller than a pound, so the number of pounds must come out smaller than the number of ounces. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
