In the avoirdupois unit system, 16 ounces (oz.) is equal to one pound. There are differing theories why 16 ounces are equal to one pound, though one popular theories supposes that using 16 ounces to a pound was preferred by middle ages merchants due to the ease in which items could be divided into halves, eighths and sixteenths.
