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 59 lbs comes to 944 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.
