It doesn't. One avoirdupois pound equals 16 avoirdupois ounces. One troy pound equals 12 troy ounces.

∙ 11y ago0.75 or 3/4 lb. One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."
