I want to know how many espresso shots are in one pound of whole bean
coffee? Or inother words... 1 lb of coffee is how many espresso shots?

Howdy deanalp-ga,

The Coffee Geek website provides us with how much finely ground coffee
is needed to make a shot of espresso.

"Espresso: the coffee beverage produced by an espresso machine. This
Italian word describes a beverage made from 7 grams of finely ground
coffee, producing 1.5 ounces of extracted beverage ..."

If your pound of coffee beans yields around a pound of finely ground
coffee, then that translates into 454 grams of ground coffee.

The CalorieLab website gives us the conversion of pounds to grams.

"There are 454 grams in a pound ...""

454 grams divided by the 7 grams needed for each shot, yields us
around 65 shots of espresso per pound of finely ground coffee.

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
