A pound is equal to 16 ounces.
Fraction x pound = 12 ounces
Fraction x 16 ounces = 12 ounces
Fraction x 16 ounces/16 ounces = 12 ounces/16 ounces
Fraction = 12/16
Fraction = 3/4

Depends with which weight you are using. If you are using 16 ounces, it's 12/16 or 3/4.
If you are measuring "Gold" you use (Troy weight) avoirdupois... which is 12 oz. That way it's 12/12 or One full pound.
