Divide by 16: 144 oz ÷ 16 = 9 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 9 lbs comes to 144 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.
