Cream cheese is sold in 8-ounce blocks, which is just under one cup: a block is about 227 g, a little less than the 240 g a full measured cup weighs.

Where this number comes from

USDA FoodData Central lists 1 cup of “Cheese spread, cream cheese base” at 240 g (FDC ID 169081, SR Legacy).

Everything else is worked out from that figure: spoons from 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons, and ounces and pounds from their exact definitions (1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 lb = 453.59237 g, NIST).
