If one egg weighs 1/16 of a pound then 1 pound will be made up of 1/(1/16) = 16 eggs

One pound of eggs is 16 eggs so 6 pounds is 6*16 = <<6*16=96>>96 eggs

One dozen is 12 eggs so 96 eggs will make 96/12 = <<96/12=8>>8 dozens

Milo is making a giant loaf of bread, and the recipe calls for pounds of eggs instead of telling him the number. He needs 6 pounds in total. He looks up online that an egg weighs 1/16 of a pound. If he needs 6 pounds of eggs, how many dozen should he buy?
