In the Avoidupoids system, 1 lb is 16 oz, so:

6 lb. + 6 oz. = 6 lb * 16 oz./lb. + 6 oz.

= 96 oz. + 6 oz.

= 102 oz.

In the Troy system, 1 lb is 12 oz, so:

6 lb. + 6 oz. = 6 lb * 12 oz./lb. + 6 oz.

= 72 oz. + 6 oz.

= 74 oz.

Don't worry about the Tower pound (12 Tower ounces), London pound (16 Troy ounces), or the merchant's pound (15 Tower ounces). They are all obsolete.
