1 pound = 16 ounces
So we have 85 lbs and 2 oz, that is if we convert them to ounces:
85(16) + 2 = 1362 oz
so we have 1362 oz total due to the conversion factor stated above, now we only need to divide:
1362/6 = 227
that is 227 oz
or if we want the result in pounds (lbs), we can by dividing again by 16
227/16 = 14.19 lbs
