What is the formula to convert 100 lbs to oz?

How do you convert 1,600 ounces back to pounds?

Divide by 16: 1,600 oz ÷ 16 = 100 lb. Both units belong to the same system, so the inverse step is the standard check on a shipping or recipe weight.

Why is a pound 16 ounces and not 12?

Because this is the avoirdupois pound, the one used for groceries, parcels and body weight, and it splits into 16 ounces. So 100 lbs comes to 1,600 oz here. The troy pound of precious metals holds only 12 troy ounces, and the same weight quoted in troy would give a different figure.
